1 Our God, we thank you

for being so near to us!

Everyone celebrates

your wonderful deeds.

2 You have set a time

to judge with fairness.

3 The earth trembles,

and its people shake;

you alone keep

its foundations firm.

4 You tell every bragger,

"Stop bragging!"

And to the wicked you say,

"Don't boast of your power!

5 Stop bragging! Quit telling me

how great you are."

6 Our Lord and our God,

victory doesn't come

from the east or the west

or from the desert.

7 You are the one who judges.

You can take away power

and give it to others.

8 You hold in your hand

a cup filled with wine,*

strong and foaming.

You will pour out some

for every sinful person

on this earth,

and they will have to drink

until it is gone.

9 But I will always tell about

you, the God of Jacob,

and I will sing your praise.

10 Our Lord, you will destroy

the power of evil people,

but you will give strength

to those who are good.
