1(For the one directing. Set to Do Not Destroy. Mizmor Asaph. Shir)

2Hodinu l'cha Elohim (Unto thee, Elohim, do we give thanks).
Hodinu; that Thy Shem is near
Thy wondrous works declare.

3I shall seize the mo'ed (appointed time), ¹⁰⁴
I will judge uprightly.

4Eretz and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolving;
I, even I, hold up the ammudim (pillars) of it.
Selah

5I said unto the hollelim (arrogant), Deal not boastfully;
and to the resha'im, Lift not up the keren;

6Lift not up your keren on high;
speak not with a stiff neck.

7For promotion cometh lo (not) from the east,
nor from the west, nor from the desert.

8But Elohim is the Shofet;
He bringeth down one, and setteth up another.

9For in the yad Hashem there is a kos,
and the yayin is foaming; full of mixture;
and He poureth out of the same;
but the dregs thereof, all rishei aretz (wicked of the earth)
shall drain them down, and drink them. ¹⁰⁵

10But I will proclaim l'olam;
I will sing zemirot to Elohei Ya'akov.

11All the karnayim of the resha'im also will I cut off;
but the karnayim of the tzaddik shall be exalted. ¹⁰⁶
