1 To the Overseer. --`Destroy not.' --A Psalm of Asaph. --A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2 When I receive an appointment, I--I do judge uprightly.
3 Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I--I have pondered its pillars. Selah.
4 I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'
5 Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness--[is] elevation.
7 But God [is] judge, This He maketh low--and this He lifteth up.
