1 God, we thank you;we thank you because you are near.We tell about the miracles you do.
2 You say, “I set the time for trial,and I will judge fairly.
3 The earth with all its people may shake,but I am the one who holds it steady.Selah
4 I say to those who are proud, ‘Don’t brag,’and to the wicked, ‘Don’t show your power.
5 Don’t try to use your power against heaven.Don’t be stubborn.’ ”
6 No one from the east or the westor the desert can judge you.
7 God is the judge;he judges one person as guilty and another as innocent.
8 The Lord holds a cup of anger in his hand;it is full of wine mixed with spices.He pours it out even to the last drop,and the wicked drink it all.
9 I will tell about this forever;I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10 He will take all power away from the wicked,but the power of good people will grow.
