| 1For the choir director: "Do Not Destroy." A psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, God; we give thanks to You, for Your name is near. People tell about Your wonderful works." | 1We praise you, God! We praise you —your presence draws near— as we declare your wonderful deeds. |
| 2When I choose a time, I will judge fairly. | 2"At the time that I choose I will judge the righteous. |
| 3When the earth and all its inhabitants shake, I am the One who steadies its pillars. Selah | 3While the earth and all its inhabitants melt away, it is I who keep its pillars firm." Interlude |
| 4I say to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horn. | 4I will say to the proud, "Don't brag," and to the wicked, "Don't vaunt your strength. |
| 5Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak arrogantly.'" | 5Don't use your strength to fight heaven or speak from stubborn arrogance." |
| 6Exaltation does not come from the east, the west, or the desert, | 6For exaltation comes not from the east, the west, or the wilderness, |

| 8For there is a cup in the LORD's hand, full of wine blended with spices, and He pours from it. All the wicked of the earth will drink, draining it to the dregs. | 8For there is a cup in the hand of the LORD, foaming with well-mixed wine that he will pour out, leaving only the dregs, from which all the wicked of the earth will drink. |
| 9As for me, I will tell about Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob." | 9But as for me, I will declare forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob. |
| 10I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up." | 10I will cut down the strength of the wicked, but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up. |
