“Close beside us,” literally, “your name is near.”
2
God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
3
When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. Selah.

Notes

Literally, “hold firm its pillars.”
4
To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’
1
Notes
+
“Don't be proud”: literally, “Don't lift up the horn.”
5
No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”
1
Notes
+

6

7
God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
8
For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
1
Notes
+
In judgment.
9
But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10
For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
