1 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!

For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

2 "When I choose the proper time,

I will judge uprightly.

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;

I set up its pillars firmly.

Selah

4 "I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’

And to the wicked, *‘Do not lift up the horn.

5 Do not lift up your horn on high;

Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ "

6 For exaltation comes neither from the east

Nor from the west nor from the south.

7 But *God is the Judge:

*He puts down one,

And exalts another.

8 For *in the hand of the Lordthereis a cup,

And the wine is red;

It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;

Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth

Drain and drink down.

9 But I will declare forever,

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 "All* the horns of the wicked I will also cut off,

But*the horns of the righteous shall be *exalted."
