1For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian.
1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2God is known in Judea; his name is great in Israel.
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?
8For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.
10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
