1 We give thanks to You, God;we give thanks to You, for Your name is near.People tell about Your wonderful works.
2 “When I choose a time,I will judge fairly.
3 When the earth and all its inhabitants shake,I am the One who steadies its pillars. Selah
4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn against heavenor speak arrogantly.’ ”
6 Exaltation does not comefrom the east, the west, or the desert,
7 for God is the Judge:He brings down one and exalts another.
8 For there is a cup in the Lord’s hand,full of wine blended with spices, and He pours from it.All the wicked of the earth will drink,draining it to the dregs.
9 As for me, I will tell about Him forever;I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 “I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”
