For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
We give thanks unto thee, O God;
We give thanks, {Or, for that thy name is near Thy wonderous works declare}for thy name is near:
Men tell of thy wondrous works.
When I shall {Hebrew: take.}find the set time,
I will judge uprightly.
{Or, When the earth…I set up}The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved:
I have {Hebrew: proportioned.}set up the pillars of it.
[Selah
I said unto the {Or, fools}arrogant, Deal not arrogantly;
And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Lift not up your horn on high;
Speak not {Or, insolently with a haughty neck}with a stiff neck.
For neither from the east, nor from the west,
Nor yet {Or, from the wilderness of mountains cometh judgment}from the {Hebrew: wilderness.}south, cometh lifting up.
But God is the judge:
He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine {Or, is red}foameth;
It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same:
Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
But I will declare for ever,
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;
But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

He chose David also his servant,And took him from the sheepfolds:
From following the ewes that have their young he brought him,To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart,And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every {Or, matter}purpose and for every work.
I will {Or, give heed unto the perfect way}behave myself wisely in a perfect way:Oh when wilt thou come unto me?I will walk within my house {Or, in the integrity of my heart}with a perfect heart.
Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

The God of Israel said,The Rock of Israel spake to me: {Or, There shall be one…and it shall be as &c.}One that ruleth over men {Hebrew: a righteous one.}righteously,That ruleth in the fear of God,
He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,A morning without clouds,When the tender grass springeth out of the earth,Through clear shining after rain.
