We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of your wonderful deeds. 1
You say, "I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge uprightly. 2
When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. 3
To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns. 4
Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak with outstretched neck.' " 5
No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. 6
But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another. 7
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. 8
As for me, I will declare this forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. 9
I will cut off the horns of all the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up. 10
