Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
*Thy name* — Thy self; art present with us, and ready to help.

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
*Receive* — The whole congregation, all the tribes.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. /*Selah*/.
*Dissolved* — Or, destroyed; by intestine divisions and wars.
*I hear* — I support it, by maintaining religion and justice, by setting up good magistrates, and encouraging good ministers, and good men, who are indeed the pillars of a nation.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
*I said* — I charged them.
*Deal not* — Desist from your practices.
*Lift not up* — Do not carry yourselves scornfully and maliciously.

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
*Lift not* — A metaphor from untamed oxen, which will not bow their heads to receive the yoke.
*Stiff neck* — With pride and contempt.

For in the hand of the LORD 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.
*For* — God is here compared to the master of a feast, who then used to distribute portions of meat and drink to the several guests.
*A cup* — Of vengeance.
*Red* — Such as the best wine of Judea was.
*Mixture* — The wine is mingled not with water, but with strengthening and intoxicating ingredients.
*Dregs* — The worst and most dreadful part of those tribulations.
*Shall wring* — This dreadful draught was brought upon them by their own choice and wickedness.

But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
*Declare* — The praises of God.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
*Horns* — Their honour and power, which they made an instrument of mischief.
*Will* — When I shall be advanced to the throne.
*But* — Good men shall be encouraged and promoted.
