1 We give thanks to you, O God! We give thanks!You reveal your presence;people tell about your amazing deeds.
2 God says,“At the appointed times,I judge fairly.
3 When the earth and all its inhabitants dissolve in fear,I make its pillars secure.” (Selah)
4 I say to the proud, “Do not be proud,”and to the wicked, “Do not be so confident of victory!
5 Do not be so certain you have won!Do not speak with your head held so high!
6 For victory does not come from the east or west,or from the wilderness.
7 For God is the judge!He brings one down and exalts another.
8 For the Lord holds in his hand a cup fullof foaming wine mixed with spices,and pours it out.Surely all the wicked of the earthwill slurp it up and drink it to its very last drop.”
9 As for me, I will continually tell what you have done;I will sing praises to the God of Jacob!
10 God says,“I will bring down all the power of the wicked;the godly will be victorious.”
