Berean Study Bible | International Standard Version |
1For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works. | 1We praise you, God! We praise you —your presence draws near— as we declare your wonderful deeds. |
2“When I choose a time, I will judge fairly. | 2"At the time that I choose I will judge the righteous. |
3When the earth and all its dwellers quake, it is I who bear up 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 proud, ‘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 against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’ ” | 5Don't use your strength to fight heaven or speak from stubborn arrogance." |
6For exaltation comes neither from east nor west, nor out of the desert, | 6For exaltation comes not from the east, the west, or the wilderness, |
7but it is God who judges; He brings down one and exalts another. | 7since God is the judge. This one he will debase or that one he will exalt. |
8For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours from His cup, and all the wicked of the earth drink 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 proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. | 9But as for me, I will declare forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob. |
10“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.” | 10I will cut down the strength of the wicked, but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up. |
