1 We praise you, God,
we praise you, for your Name is
near;
people tell of your wonderful
deeds.
2 You say, “I
choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge with equity.
3 When the earth and all its people
quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.[b]
4 To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no
more,’
and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your
horns.[c]
5 Do not lift your horns against
heaven;
do not speak so defiantly.’”
6 No one from the
east or the west
or from the desert can exalt
themselves.
7 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 who says, “I will cut off the horns of all
the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous will be lifted
up.”
