For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song.
We give thanks to you, God. Psa 145:18Jer 10:6Psa 138:2Deu 4:7Exo 23:21Exo 34:6-7Psa 57:1Psa 76:1
We give thanks, for your Name is near.
Men tell about your wondrous works.
When I choose the appointed time, Ecc 3:17Act 17:31Act 1:7Jhn 7:6Psa 102:132Sa 2:42Sa 23:3-42Sa 5:3
I will judge blamelessly.
The earth and all its inhabitants quake. 1Sa 2:8Isa 24:19Heb 1:3Isa 49:81Sa 18:71Sa 25:281Sa 31:1-72Sa 5:2
I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” Zec 1:21Pro 1:22Pro 8:5Psa 148:14Psa 82:2-8Psa 89:17Psa 94:8Dan 7:20-21
I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
Don’t lift up your horn on high. 2Ch 30:8Act 7:51Isa 48:4Deu 31:27Exo 32:9Ezk 2:4
Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
For neither from the east, nor from the west, Psa 3:3
nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
But God is the judge. Luk 1:52Dan 2:21-22Psa 113:7-8Psa 147:62Sa 6:21Psa 50:61Sa 2:7-8Jer 27:4-8
He puts down one, and lifts up another.
For in the LORD’s hand there is a cup, Job 21:20Jer 25:15Psa 11:6Rev 16:19Rev 14:9-10Jer 25:17Isa 5:22Psa 60:3
full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He pours it out.
Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
But I will declare this forever: Psa 104:33Psa 145:1-2Psa 40:10Psa 9:14
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, Psa 89:17Psa 92:10Jer 48:25Psa 101:8Psa 148:14Zec 1:20-211Sa 2:1Luk 1:69
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
