To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm Song of Asaph.
1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, do we give thanks: for thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak a stiff neck.
6 For promotion neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring out, drink .
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
