1 W e give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, For Your name is near; Men declare Your wondrous works.

2 “ When I select an appointed time, It is I who judge with equity.

3 “ The earth and all who dwell in it melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

4 “ I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ And to the wicked, ‘ Do not lift up the horn;

5 D o not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.’”

6 F or not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

7 B ut God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

8 F or a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams; It is well mixed, and He pours out of this; Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

9 B ut as for me, I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 A nd all the horns of the wicked He will cut off, But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
