1. For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; we give thanks, for thy name is near: men tell of thy wondrous works.
2. When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
3. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah
4. I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: 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 neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.
7. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
