4 You tell every boaster,“Stop boasting!”And to the wicked you say,“Don't boast of your power!
5 Stop boasting! Stop telling mehow great you are.”
6 Our Lord and our God,victory doesn't comefrom the east or the westor from the desert.
7 You are the one who judges.You can take away powerand give it to others.
8 You hold in your handa cup filled with wine,strong and foaming.You will pour out somefor every sinful personon this earth,and they will have to drinkuntil it is gone.
9 But I will always tell aboutyou, the God of Jacob,and I will sing your praise.
10 Our Lord, you will destroythe power of evil people,but you will give strengthto those who are good.
