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.
