1 We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you!We proclaim how great you areand tell of the wonderful things you have done.
2 “I have set a time for judgement,” says God,“and I will judge with fairness.
3 Though every living creature trembleand the earth itself be shaken,I will keep its foundations firm.
4 I tell the wicked not to be arrogant;
5 I tell them to stop their boasting.”
6 Judgement does not come from the east or from the west,from the north or from the south;
7 it is God who is the judge,condemning some and acquitting others.
