Psalms
Summary
To the Chief Musician. Altaschith. A Psalm or Song of Asaph. A celebration of God's sovereignty and judgement. It warns the arrogant that power comes only from God, who holds the cup of judgement and will wring out its dregs for the wicked.
To you, O God, do we give thanks, to you do we give thanks; for your name is near; your wondrous works declare it.
When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved; I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.
For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
But God is the judge; he puts down one, and sets up another.
For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is foaming; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same; but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
