² You say, “I choose the appointed time;^(C)
    it is I who judge with equity.^(D)
3 When the earth and all its people quake,^(E)
    it is I who hold its pillars^(F) firm.^[b]
4 To the arrogant^(G) I say, ‘Boast no more,’^(H)
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.^[c](I)
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven;
    do not speak so defiantly.^(J)’”

⁶ No one from the east or the west
    or from the desert can exalt themselves.
⁷ It is God who judges:^(K)
    He brings one down, he exalts another.^(L)
8 In the hand of the Lord is a cup
    full of foaming wine mixed^(M) with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.^(N)

⁹ As for me, I will declare^(O) this forever;
    I will sing^(P) praise to the God of Jacob,^(Q)
10 who says, “I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
    but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”^(R)

⁴ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(H)
    he is to be feared^(I) above all gods.^(J)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,^(K)
    but the Lord made the heavens.^(L)
6 Splendor and majesty^(M) are before him;
    strength and glory^(N) are in his sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord,^(O) all you families of nations,^(P)
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering^(Q) and come into his courts.^(R)
9 Worship the Lord^(S) in the splendor of his^[a] holiness;^(T)
    tremble^(U) before him, all the earth.^(V)
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.^(W)”
    The world is firmly established,^(X) it cannot be moved;^(Y)
    he will judge^(Z) the peoples with equity.^(AA)

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice,^(AB) let the earth be glad;^(AC)
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
¹² Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest^(AD) sing for joy.^(AE)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge^(AF) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness^(AG)
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.^(AH)

⁴ “Listen to me, my people;^(N)
    hear me,^(O) my nation:
Instruction^(P) will go out from me;
    my justice^(Q) will become a light to the nations.^(R)
5 My righteousness draws near speedily,
    my salvation^(S) is on the way,^(T)
    and my arm^(U) will bring justice to the nations.
The islands^(V) will look to me
    and wait in hope^(W) for my arm.
⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,^(X)
    the earth will wear out like a garment^(Y)
    and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation^(Z) will last forever,^(AA)
    my righteousness will never fail.^(AB)

⁷ “Hear me, you who know what is right,^(AC)
    you people who have taken my instruction to heart:^(AD)
Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals
    or be terrified by their insults.^(AE)
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment;^(AF)
    the worm^(AG) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,^(AH)
    my salvation through all generations.”
