1 {To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אַל־תַּשְׁחֵ֑ת מִזְמֹ֖ור לְאָסָ֣ף שִֽׁיר׃

2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.

2 הֹ֘ודִ֤ינוּ לְּךָ֨³׀ אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֗ים הֹ֭ודִינוּ וְקָרֹ֣וב שְׁמֶ֑ךָ סִ֝פְּר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah.

3 כִּ֭י אֶקַּ֣ח מֹועֵ֑ד אֲ֝נִ֗י מֵישָׁרִ֥ים אֶשְׁפֹּֽט׃

4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

4 נְֽמֹגִ֗ים אֶ֥רֶץ וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֶ֑יהָ אָנֹכִ֨י תִכַּ֖נְתִּי עַמּוּדֶ֣יהָ סֶּֽלָה׃

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

5 אָמַ֣רְתִּי לַֽ֭הֹולְלִים אַל־תָּהֹ֑לּוּ וְ֝לָרְשָׁעִ֗ים אַל־תָּרִ֥ימוּ קָֽרֶן׃

6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

6 אַל־תָּרִ֣ימוּ לַמָּרֹ֣ום קַרְנְכֶ֑ם תְּדַבְּר֖וּ בְצַוָּ֣אר עָתָֽק׃

7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

7 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א מִ֭מֹּוצָא וּמִֽמַּעֲרָ֑ב וְ֝לֹ֗א מִמִּדְבַּ֥ר הָרִֽים׃

8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.

8 כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֥ים שֹׁפֵ֑ט זֶ֥ה יַ֝שְׁפִּ֗יל וְזֶ֣ה יָרִֽים׃

9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.

9 כִּ֤י כֹ֪וס בְּֽיַד־יְהוָ֡ה וְיַ֤יִן חָמַ֨ר׀ מָ֥לֵא מֶסֶךְ֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ר מִ֫זֶּ֥ה אַךשְְ֭־מָרֶיהָ יִמְצ֣וּ יִשְׁתּ֑וּ כֹּ֝֗ל רִשְׁעֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

10 וַ֭אֲנִי אַגִּ֣יד לְעֹלָ֑ם אֲ֝זַמְּרָ֗ה לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃
