New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
1
To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2 God says, “At the time I have planned, I will bring justice against the wicked.
2
When I receive an appointment, I -- I do judge uprightly.
3 When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude
3
Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I -- I have pondered its pillars. Selah.
4 “I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’ I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!
4
I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'
5 Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.’”
5
Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6 For no one on earth—from east or west, or even from the wilderness— should raise a defiant fist.
6
For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness -- [is] elevation.
7 It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.
7
But God [is] judge, This He maketh low -- and this He lifteth up.
8 For the LORD holds a cup in his hand that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours out the wine in judgment, and all the wicked must drink it, draining it to the dregs.
8
For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9 But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
9
And I -- I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 For God says, “I will break the strength of the wicked, but I will increase the power of the godly.”
10
And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
