| 1 For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works. | 1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. | 1 [For the choir director; [al tashcheth]; a psalm by Asaph; a song.] We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks. You are present, and your miracles confirm that. | 1 We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works. | 1 {To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it. | 2 "When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity. | 2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. | 2 When I choose the right time, I will judge fairly. | 2 When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly. | 2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity. | 3 "The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah. | 3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. | 3 When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt, I will make its foundations as solid as rock. [Selah] | 3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah. | 3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. Selah. | 4 "I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn; | 4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: | 4 I said to those who brag, "Don't brag," and to wicked people, "Don't raise your weapons. | 4 I said to the arrogant, "Don't boast!" I said to the wicked, "Don't lift up the horn. | 4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: | 5 Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'" | 5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. | 5 Don't raise your weapons so proudly or speak so defiantly." | 5 Don't lift up your horn on high. Don't speak with a stiff neck." | 5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a stiff neck. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation; | 6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. | 6 The [authority] to reward someone does not [come] from the east, from the west, or [even] from the wilderness. | 6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. | 6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation come: | 7 But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another. | 7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. | 7 God alone is the judge. He punishes one person and rewards another. | 7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another. | 7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another. | 8 For a cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs. | 8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. | 8 A cup is in the LORD's hand. (Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.) He will empty it, [and] all the wicked people on earth will have to drink every last drop. | 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. | 8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, and drink. | 9 But as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9 But I will speak [about your miracles] forever. I will make music to praise the God of Jacob. | 9 But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob. | 10 And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. | 10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. | 10 I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people, but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly. | 10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. | 10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. |
