1 We give thanks to you, God.
We give thanks, for your Name is near.
Men tell about your wondrous works.
2 When I choose the appointed time,
I will judge blamelessly.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake.
I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.
4 I said to the arrogant, "Don’t boast!"
I said to the wicked, "Don’t lift up the horn.
5 Don’t lift up your horn on high.
Don’t speak with a stiff neck."
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7 But God is the judge.
He puts down one, and lifts up another.
8 For in Yahweh’s hand 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.
9 But I will declare this forever:
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
1 神啊! 我们称谢你, 我们称谢你, 因为你("你"原文作"你的名")接近人, 人都述说你奇妙的作为。
2 你说: "我选定了日期, 我要按公正施行审判。
3 地和地上的居民都因惧怕而融化, 我却使大地的柱子坚立。(细拉)
4 我对狂傲的人说: ‘不要行事狂傲’; 对邪恶的人说: ‘不要举角,
5 不要高举你们的角, 不要挺着傲慢的颈项说话。’"
6 高升不是从东面来, 不是从西面来, 也不是旷野来,
7 而是由 神来决定; 他使这人降卑, 使那人升高。
8 原来耶和华的手里有杯, 装满了起沫和混杂各种香料的酒; 他把酒从杯里倒出来, 地上所有的恶人都必定要喝, 甚至连酒的渣滓都要喝尽。
9 至于我, 我要永远传扬, 我要向雅各的 神歌唱。
10 所有恶人的角, 我都要砍断, 只有义人的角必被高举。
