1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph.

2 We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name : I will declare all thy wonderful works.

3 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

4 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it : I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.

5 I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress ; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

6 Lift not up your horn on high ; speak not unrighteousness against God.

7 For good comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

8 For God is the judge ; he puts down one, and raises up another.

9 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. Notesn1 Gr. from this into that.

10 But I will exult for ever : I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

11 And I will break all the horns of sinners ; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
