1We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds. | 1We praise you, God! We praise you —your presence draws near— as we declare your wonderful deeds. |
2“At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity. | 2"At the time that I choose I will judge the righteous. |
3When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah | 3While the earth and all its inhabitants melt away, it is I who keep its pillars firm." Interlude |
4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn; | 4I will say to the proud, "Don't brag," and to the wicked, "Don't vaunt your strength. |
5do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” | 5Don't use your strength to fight heaven or speak from stubborn arrogance." |
6For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, | 6For exaltation comes not from the east, the west, or the wilderness, |
7but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. | 7since God is the judge. This one he will debase or that one he will exalt. |
8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs. | 8For there is a cup in the hand of the LORD, foaming with well-mixed wine that he will pour out, leaving only the dregs, from which all the wicked of the earth will drink. |
9But I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9But as for me, I will declare forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob. |
10All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. | 10I will cut down the strength of the wicked, but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up. |
