1Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
1 To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
2When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
3When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.)
4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
4I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
5Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
6For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
7But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
8For 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.
8For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
