1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm [or] Song of Asaph. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, [to thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near, thy wondrous works declare.

For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.

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

When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

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

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

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

I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff neck.

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.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

7 But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth 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 of it all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and] drink [them].

For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is 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.

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

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.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
