We give thanks to You, O God. We give thanks that Your name is near. Men tell about the great things You have done.

2 “ When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity.

You say, “When the right time has come, I will be right and fair in deciding who is guilty or not.

3 “ The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

When the earth and all its people shake, it is I Who will hold it together.

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

I said to the proud, ‘Do not speak with pride.’ And I said to the sinful, ‘Do not lift up the horn.

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

Do not lift your horn up high. Do not speak in your pride.’”

6 F or not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

For honor does not come from the east or the west or from the desert.

7 B ut God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

But God is the One Who decides. He puts down one and brings respect to another.

8 F or 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.

For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand. It is full of strong wine that is well mixed. He pours out from it, and all the sinful people of the earth must drink all of it.

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

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

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

He will cut off all the horns of the sinful. But the horns of those who are right with God will be lifted up.
