1 | We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works. |
2 | When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly. |
3 | The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah. |
4 | I said to the arrogant, "Don't boast!" I said to the wicked, "Don't lift up the horn. |
5 | Don't lift up your horn on high. Don't speak with a stiff neck." |
6 | For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. |
7 | But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another. |
8 | For in the hand of Yahweh 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 this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. |
10 | I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. Psalm 76 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. |
