1 We praise you, God,we praise you, for your Name is near;people tell of your wonderful deeds.
2 You say, ‘I choose the appointed time;it is I who judge with equity.
3 When the earth and all its people quake,it is I who hold its pillars firm.
4 To the arrogant I say, “Boast no more,”and to the wicked, “Do not lift up your horns.
5 Do not lift your horns against heaven;do not speak so defiantly.” ’
6 No one from the east or the westor from the desert can exalt themselves.
