1The Psalmist praiseth God: 2he promiseth to judge uprightly: 4he rebuketh the proud by a display of God's superintending providence: 9he promiseth to praise God, and execute justice.


0 To the chief Musician, 1Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song 2of Asaph.

1 UNTO athee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that bthy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

2 3When cI shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

3 The dearth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: eI bear up fthe pillars of it. Selah.

4 I gsaid unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, hLift not up the *horn:

5 Lift not up your *horn on high: speak not with a istiff jneck.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the 4south.

  • 4: Heb. desert.

7 But kGod is the judge: lhe putteth down one, and setteth up another.

8 For min 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 thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

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

10 All othe *horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but pthe horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
