| 1 | To the Chief Musician. Set to 'Do Not Destroy.' A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near. | |
| 2 | "When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly. | |
| 3 | The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah | |
| 4 | 'I said to the boastful, 'Do not deal boastfully,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn. | |
| 5 | Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.'" | |
| 6 | For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. | |
| 7 | But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another. | |
| 8 | For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, And the wine is red; It is fully mixed, and He pours it out; Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth Drain and drink down. | |
| 9 | But I will declare forever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | |
| 10 | 'All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." | |
