4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ And to the wicked, ‘ Do not lift up the horn;

5 L ift not up your horn on high; Speak not with a stiff neck.

Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’”

6 F or neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.

For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

7 B ut God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

9 B ut I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 A ll the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
