New Living Translation NLT
1 (74-1) <Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph.> (74-2) We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:
1
We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
2 (74-3) When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.
2
God says, “At the time I have planned, I will bring justice against the wicked.
3 (74-4) The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.
3
When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude
4 (74-5) I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
4
“I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’ I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!
5 (74-6) Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.
5
Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.’”
6 (74-7) For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:
6
For no one on earth—from east or west, or even from the wilderness— should raise a defiant fist.
7 (74-8) For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
7
It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall.
8 (74-9) For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
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.
9 (74-10) But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob.
9
But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 (74-11) And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
10
For God says, “I will break the strength of the wicked, but I will increase the power of the godly.”
