4 I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

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

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, [cometh] lifting up.

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

8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foameth; it is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

For in the LORD’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 for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

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

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
