[[To him that excelleth.] Destroy not. A Psalm Chapter or song committed to Asaph.]
[1] We will praise thee, O God, we will praise thee, for thy name is near: therefore they will declare thy wondrous works.
[2] When I shall take a convenient time, I will judge righteously.
[3] The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: but I will establish the pillars of it. Selah.
[4] I said unto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
[5] Lift not up your horn on high, neither speak with a stiff neck.
[6] For to come to preferment is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south,
[7] But God is the judge: he maketh low and he maketh high.
[8] For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixed, and he poureth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drink the dregs thereof.
[9] But I will declare forever, and sing praises unto the God of Jacob.
[10] All the horns of the wicked also will I break: but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
