1 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A Psalm of Asaph. --  A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given  thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy  wonders.
2 When I receive an appointment, I -- I do judge uprightly.
3 Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I -- I have  pondered its pillars. Selah.
4 I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the  wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'
5 Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff  neck.)
6 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the  wilderness -- [is] elevation.
7 But God [is] judge, This He maketh low -- and this He  lifteth up.
8 For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath  foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only  its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9 And I -- I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the  God of Jacob.
10 And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the  horns of the righteous!
