1 To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes. 2 When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously. 3 The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. Selah. 4 I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne. 5 Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke. 6 For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South, 7 But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie. 8 For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof. 9 But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob. 10 All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
