For the choir director; set to ^[a]Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

We ^(a)give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is ^(b)near; Men declare ^(c)Your wondrous works.

"When I select an ^(d)appointed time, It is I who ^(e)judge with equity.

"The ^(f)earth and all who dwell in it ^[b]melt; It is I who have firmly set its ^(g)pillars. ^[c]Selah.

"I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,' And to the wicked, ‘^(h)Do not lift up the horn;

Do not lift up your horn on high, ⁽ⁱ⁾Do not speak with insolent ^[d]pride.'"

For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the ^[e](j)desert comes exaltation;

But ^(k)God is the Judge; He ^(l)puts down one and exalts another.

For a ^(m)cup is in the hand of the Lord , and the wine foams; It is ^[f](n)well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and ^(o)drink down its dregs.

But as for me, I will ^(p)declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

And all the ^(q)horns of the wicked ^[g]He will cut off, But ^(r)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
