1. For the leader; al tashheth. A psalm of Asaph, a song.
2. We praise You, O God; we praise You; Your presence is near; men tell of Your wondrous deeds.
3. "At the time I choose, I will give judgment equitably.
4. Earth and all its inhabitants dissolve; it is I who keep its pillars firm. Selah.
5. To wanton men I say, 'Do not be wanton!' to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns!'"
6. Do not lift your horns up high in vainglorious bluster.
7. For what lifts a man comes not from the east or the west or the wilderness;
8. for God it is who gives judgment; He brings down one man, He lifts up another.
9. There is a cup in the LORD's hand with foaming wine fully mixed; from this He pours; all the wicked of the earth drink, draining it to the very dregs.
10. As for me, I will declare forever, I will sing a hymn to the God of Jacob.
11. "All the horns of the wicked I will cut; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up."
