To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. 1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, Unto thee do we give thanks: For that 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 not with a stiff neck. 6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another. 8 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. 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; But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. |
