1 We give thanks to you, O God,
we give thanks, for your Name is near;
men tell of your wonderful deeds. |
2 You say, "I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge uprightly. |
3 When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.

4 To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,'
and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. |
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven;
do not speak with outstretched neck.' " |
6 No one from the east or the west
or from the desert can exalt a man. |
7 But it is God who judges:
He brings one down, he exalts another. |
8 In the hand of the LORD is a cup
full of foaming wine mixed with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
drink it down to its very dregs. |
9 As for me, I will declare this forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. |
10 I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. |
