For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
We give thanks unto Thee, O God, We give thanks, and Thy name is near; Men tell of Thy wondrous works.
'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.
When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' Selah
I say unto the arrogant 'Deal not arrogantly'; And to the wicked 'Lift not up the horn.'
Lift not up your horn on high; Speak not insolence with a haughty neck.
For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.
For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, And He poureth out of the same; Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
But as for me, 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 lifted up.
