| 1We praise you, God! We praise you —your presence draws near— as we declare your wonderful deeds. | 1For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works. |
| 2"At the time that I choose I will judge the righteous. | 2"When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity. |
| 3While the earth and all its inhabitants melt away, it is I who keep its pillars firm." Interlude | 3"The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah. |
| 4I will say to the proud, "Don't brag," and to the wicked, "Don't vaunt your strength. | 4"I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn; |
| 5Don't use your strength to fight heaven or speak from stubborn arrogance." | 5Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'" |
| 6For exaltation comes not from the east, the west, or the wilderness, | 6For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation; |
| 7since God is the judge. This one he will debase or that one he will exalt. | 7But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another. |
| 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. | 8For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs. |
| 9But as for me, I will declare forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob. | 9But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. |
| 10I will cut down the strength of the wicked, but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up. | 10And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. |
