3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.

6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:

7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

7 ForGod is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth 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.

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.

9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to theGod of Jacob.

10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
