To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
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.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For 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 .
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
1 in finem in laudibus psalmus Asaph canticum ad Assyrium
2 Notus in Iudaea Deus in Israhel magnum nomen eius
3 et factus est in pace locus eius et habitatio eius in Sion
4 ibi confregit potentias arcuum
scutum et gladium et bellum diapsalma
5 inluminas tu mirabiliter de montibus aeternis
6 turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde
dormierunt somnum suum et nihil invenerunt
omnes viri divitiarum manibus suis
7 ab increpatione tua Deus Iacob
dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos
8 tu terribilis es et quis resistet tibi ex tunc ira tua
9 de caelo auditum fecisti iudicium terra timuit et quievit
10 cum exsurgeret in iudicium Deus
ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terrae diapsalma
11 quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi
et reliquiae cogitationis diem festum agent tibi
12 vovete et reddite Domino Deo vestro
omnes qui in circuitu eius adferent munera
terribili
13 et ei qui aufert spiritus principum
terribili apud reges terrae
