1TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. We have given thanks to You, O God, "" We have given thanks, and Your Name [is] near, "" They have recounted Your wonders.

2When I receive an appointment, I judge uprightly.

3The earth and all its inhabitants are melted, "" I have pondered its pillars. Selah.

4I have said to the boastful, “Do not be boastful,” "" And to the wicked, “Do not raise up a horn.”

5Do not raise up your horn on high "" (You speak with a stiff neck).

6For not from the east, or from the west, "" Nor from the wilderness—[is] elevation.

7But God [is] judging, "" This He makes low—and this He lifts up.

8For a cup [is] in the hand of YHWH, "" And the wine has foamed, "" It is full of mixture, and He pours out of it, "" Surely wring out its dregs, "" And all the wicked of the earth drink,

9And I declare [it] for all time, "" I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

10And I cut off all horns of the wicked, "" The horns of the righteous are exalted!
