[¶0] To the Chief Musician. Destroy not. A Psalm of Asaph. A song

[¶1] 1 We will celebrate thee, O God! we will celebrate thee; And near is thy name: they will declare thy wonders.

[¶2] 2 When I shall have taken the congregation, I in uprightness will judge.

[¶3] 3 Dissolved is the earth, and all the inhabitants thereof: will establish the pillars of it. Selah.

[¶4] 4 I said to the fools, “Act not foolishly;” And to the ungodly, “Raise not up the horn.”

[¶5] 5 Raise not up on high your horn; And speak not with a stiff neck.

[¶6] 6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the wilderness are exaltations.

[¶7] 7 For God is judge: tie bringeth low, and he setteth up.

[¶8] 8 For a cup is in the hand of Jehovah, and the wine is turbid; It is full of mixture, and he shall pour forth of it. Surely the dregs thereof they shall wring out;. And drink of it shall all the wicked of the earth.

[¶9] 9 But as for me I will publish for ever, I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

[¶10] 10 And all the horns of the ungodly I will break; But exalted shall be the horns of the righteous.
