ESVEnglish Standard Version

“At the set time that I appoint

I will judge with equity.

When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah

I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;

do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with haughty neck.’ ”

For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You say, “I choose the appointed time;

it is I who judge with equity.

When the earth and all its people quake,

it is I who hold its pillars firm.

To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns.

Do not lift your horns against heaven;

do not speak so defiantly.’ ”

No one from the east or the west

or from the desert can exalt themselves.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

“When I choose a time,

I will judge fairly.

When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,

I am the one who steadies its pillars.

Selah

I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

Do not lift up your horn against heaven

or speak arrogantly.’ ”

Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

NLTNew Living Translation

God says, “At the time I have planned,

I will bring justice against the wicked.

When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil,

I am the one who keeps its foundations firm.

Interlude

“I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’

I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!

Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens

or speak with such arrogance.’ ”

For no one on earth—from east or west,

or even from the wilderness—

should raise a defiant fist.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“I will indeed set an appointed time;

I will judge fairly.

The earth and all its inhabitants are shaking;

I steady its columns. Selah

I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast!’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn!

Do not lift up high your horn.

Do not speak with arrogant pride.’ ”

For it is not from the east or the west

and not from the south that lifting up comes,
