| We give you thanks, O God, we give you thanks,
*
calling upon your Name and declaring all your wonderful deeds.

| "I will appoint a time," says God;
*
"I will judge with equity.
|
| 3
| Though the earth and all its inhabitants
are quaking, *
I will make its pillars fast.
|
| 4
| I will say to the boasters, 'Boast no more,'
*
and to the wicked, 'Do not toss your horns;
|
| 5
| Do not toss your horns so high, *
nor speak with a proud neck.'"
|
| 6
| For judgment is neither from the east nor
from the west, *
nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains.
|
| 7
| It is God who judges; *
he puts down one and lifts up another.
|
| 8
| For in the LORD'S hand there is a cup,
full of spiced and foaming wine, which he pours out, *
and all the wicked of the earth shall drink and drain the dregs.
|
| 9
| But I will rejoice for ever; *
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
|
| 10
| He shall break off all the horns of the wicked;
*
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
