Rh :Remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
 * Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries,
 * The tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.

For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.


 * We give thanks unto Thee, O God,
 * We give thanks, and Thy name is near;
 * Men tell of Thy wondrous works.


 * 'When I take the appointed time,
 * I Myself will judge with equity.
 * When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved,
 * I Myself establish the pillars of it.'


 * I say unto the arrogant 'Deal not arrogantly';
 * And to the wicked 'Lift not up the horn.'
 * Lift not up your horn on high;
 * Speak not insolence with a haughty neck.
 * For neither from the east, nor from the west,
 * Nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.
 * For God is judge;
 * He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.
 * For in the hand of the there is a cup, with foaming wine, 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 as for me, 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.

For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.


 * In Judah is God known;
 * His name is great in Israel.
 * In Salem also is set His tabernacle,
 * And His dwelling-place in Zion.
 * There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow;
 * The shield, and the sword, and the battle.


 * Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.
 * The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep;
 * And none of the men of might have found their hands.
 * At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
 * They are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.


 * Thou, even Thou, art terrible;
 * And who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?
 * Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;
 * The earth feared, and was still,
 * When God arose to judgment,
 * To save all the humble of the earth.


 * Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee;
 * The residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.
 * Vow, and pay unto the your God;
