3 T he earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved; I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

4 “ I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.

5 D o not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.’”

6 F or exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south.

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

10 “ All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
