The writer makes statement of his resolution of executing judgment

«To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song.» To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm by Asaph. A song. We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.
When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness. When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.
When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.) The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up. I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks. Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

He gives sharp words to the wicked, and comes to an end with resolutions to praise God

For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south; For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another. But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.
For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop. For in the hand of Yahweh there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob. But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up. I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
