To the chief singer. ‘Do not destroy.’ A psalm, a song of Asaph.
1 We shall give thanks to You,
O Elohim, we shall give thanks!
And Your Name is near!
Your wonders shall be declared!
2 “When I seize the appointed time,
It is I who judge in uprightness.
3 “The earth and all its inhabitants are melted;
It is I who balances its columns. Selah.
4 “I said to the boasters, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.
5 “Do not lift up your horn on high
You speak with a stiff neck.’ ”
6 For exaltations are neither from the east,
Nor from the west nor from the wilderness.
7 But Elohim is the Judge – He puts down one,
And exalts another.
8 For a cup is in the hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
And the wine shall foam;
It is filled with a mixture,
And He pours it out.
All the wicked of the earth drink,
Draining it to the dregs.
9 But I, I declare forever,
I sing praises to the Elohim of Ya’aqoḇ.
10 “And all the horns of the wicked I cut off;
The horns of the righteous are lifted up.”
