[For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph.] [1]We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works. [2]When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously. [3]The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause. [4]I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn. [5]Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God. [6]For good comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains. [7]For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another. [8]For there is a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned it from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink them. [9]But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. [10]And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
