| 1 For the director of music. To the tune of"Do Not Destroy." A psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds. |
| 2 You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly. |
| 3 When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. Selah |
| 4 To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. |
| 5 Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak with outstretched neck.'" |
| 6 No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. |
| 7 But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another. |
| 8 In the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs. |
| 9 As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. |
| 10 I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. |
