1 W e give praise and thanks to You, O God, we praise and give thanks; Your wondrous works declare that Your Name is near and they who invoke Your Name rehearse Your wonders.

2 W hen the proper time has come, I will judge uprightly.

3 W hen the earth totters, and all the inhabitants of it, it is I Who will poise and keep steady its pillars. Selah!

4 I said to the arrogant and boastful, Deal not arrogantly; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn.

5 L ift not up your horn on high, speak not with a stiff neck and insolent arrogance.

6 F or not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting up.

7 B ut God is the Judge! He puts down one and lifts up another.

8 F or in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine foams and is red, well mixed; and He pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink its dregs.

9 B ut I will declare and rejoice forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 A ll the horns of the ungodly also will I cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
