| 1We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds. | 1For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A psalm of Asaph. A song. We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds. |
| 2“At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity. | 2You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity. |
| 3When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah | 3When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. |
| 4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn; | 4To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. |
| 5do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” | 5Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.'" |
| 6For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, | 6No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves. |
| 7but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. | 7It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 9But I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing 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. | 10who says, "I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up." |
