1 We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks.You are present, and your miracles confirm that.
2 When I choose the right time,I will judge fairly.
3 When the earth and everyone who lives on it begin to melt,I will make its foundations as solid as rock. Selah
4 I said to those who brag, “Don’t brag,”and to wicked people,“Don’t raise your weapons.
5 Don’t raise your weapons so proudlyor speak so defiantly.”
6 The ⌊authority⌋ to reward someone does not ⌊come⌋from the east,from the west,or ⌊even⌋ from the wilderness.
7 God alone is the judge.He punishes one person and rewards another.
8 A cup is in the Lord’s hand.(Its foaming wine is thoroughly mixed with spices.)He will empty it,⌊and⌋ all the wicked people on earthwill have to drink every last drop.
9 But I will speak ⌊about your miracles⌋ forever.I will make music to praise the God of Jacob.
10 I will destroy all the weapons of wicked people,but the weapons of righteous people will be raised proudly.
