2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. (Selah)

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

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

I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not with a stiff neck.

Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff neck."

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, [cometh] lifting up.

For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

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

But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
