To the chief Musician, Altaschith
, A Psalm
or Song
of Asaph
. Unto thee, O God
, do we give thanks
, unto thee do we give thanks
: for that thy name
is near
thy wondrous works
declare
.
When I shall receive the congregation
I will judge
uprightly
.
The earth and all the inhabitants
thereof are dissolved
: I bear up
the pillars
of it. Selah
.
I said unto the fools
, Deal not foolishly
: and to the wicked
, Lift not up
the horn
:
Lift not up your horn
on high
: speak
not with a stiff
neck
.
For promotion cometh neither from the east
, nor from the west
, nor from the south
.
But God is the judge
: he putteth down
one, and setteth up
another.
For in the hand of the LORD
there is 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 them out
, and drink
them .
But I will declare for ever
; I will sing praises
to the God
of Jacob
.
All the horns of the wicked
also will I cut off
; but the horns
of the righteous
shall be exalted
.
