To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph

1To you, O God, do we give thanks, to You do we give thanks: for that Your name is near Your wondrous works declare.

2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

4I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5Lift not up your^p horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.   strength and honor, emblem(s) of glory; pride

6For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7But God is the judge: He puts down one, and sets up another.

8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and He pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.   strength and honor, emblem(s) of glory; destroy
