| 3When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. | 3"The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah. |
| 4To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. | 4"I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn; |
| 5Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.'" | 5Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'" |
| 6No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves. | 6For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation; |
| 7It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another. | 7But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another. |
| 8In the hand of the LORD is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs. | 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. |
| 9As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob, | 9But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. |
| 10who says, "I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns 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. |
