1(75) For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.
1For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
2When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
2When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
3The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. Pause.
3The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
4I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.
4I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.
5Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
6For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
6For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
7But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
8For [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].
8For in Yahweh’s hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
9But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.
10I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
