0. To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1. [For the choirmaster Tune: 'Do not destroy' Psalm Of Asaph Song] We give thanks to you, God, we give thanks to you, as we call upon your name, as we recount your wonders.

1. We give thanks to thee, O God; we give thanks; we call on thy name and recount thy wondrous deeds.

2. 'At the appointed time I myself shall dispense justice.

2. At the set time which I appoint I will judge with equity.

3. The earth quakes and all its inhabitants; it is I who hold its pillars firm.Pause

3. When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. [Selah]

4. 'I said to the boastful, "Do not boast!" to the wicked, "Do not flaunt your strength!

4. I say to the boastful, "Do not boast," and to the wicked, "Do not lift up your horn;

5. Do not flaunt your strength so proudly, do not talk with that arrogant stance." '

5. do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with insolent neck."

6. No longer from east to west, no longer in the mountainous desert,

6. For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;

7. is God judging in uprightness, bringing some down, raising others.

7. but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.

8. Yahweh is holding a cup filled with a heady blend of wine; he will pour it, they will drink it to the dregs, all the wicked on earth will drink it.

8. For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, with foaming wine, well mixed; and he will pour a draught from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.

9. But I shall speak out for ever, shall make music for the God of Jacob.

9. But I will rejoice for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10. I shall break down all the strength of the wicked, and the strength of the upright will rise high.

10. All the horns of the wicked he will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
