The Psalmist promiseth upright judgment. remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee † increaseth continually.

‖ When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the ‖ south.

For in the hand of the there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

Will the cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most high.

I will remember the works of the : surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
