1<> Unto Thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto Thee do we give thanks. For that Thy name is near, Thy wondrous works declare.
2When I shall receive the congregation, I will judge uprightly.
3When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I bear up the pillars of it. Selah
4I said unto the fools, "Deal not foolishly," and to the wicked, "Lift not up the horn.
5Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck."
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south,
7but God is the Judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red and fully mixed; and He poureth out the same. But as for the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out and drink them.
9But I will declare it for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10All the horns of the wicked will I also cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
