1 For the leader. Do not destroy! A psalm of Asaph; a song.
2 We thank you, God, we give thanks;we call upon your name,we declare your wonderful deeds.[You said:]
3 “I will choose the time;I will judge fairly.
4 Though the earth and all its inhabitants quake,I make steady its pillars.”Selah
5 So I say to the boastful: “Do not boast!”to the wicked: “Do not raise your horns!
6 Do not raise your horns against heaven!Do not speak with a stiff neck!”
7 For judgment comes not from east or from west,not from the wilderness or the mountains,
8 But from God who decides,who brings some low and raises others high.
9 Yes, a cup is in the Lord’s hand,foaming wine, fully spiced.When God pours it out,they will drain it even to the dregs;all the wicked of the earth will drink.
10 But I will rejoice forever;I will sing praise to the God of Jacob,
11 [Who has said:]“I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
