Contemporary English Version (A psalm and a song by Asaph for the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy.”+ )Praise God for All He Has Done1Our God, we thank you for being so near to us! Everyone celebrates your wonderful deeds. 2You have set a time to judge with fairness. 3The earth trembles, and its people shake; you alone keep its foundations firm. 4You tell every bragger, “Stop bragging!” And to the wicked you say, “Don't boast of your power! 5Stop bragging! Quit telling me how great you are.” 6Our Lord and our God, victory doesn't come from the east or the west or from the desert. 7You are the one who judges. You can take away power and give it to others. 8You 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. 9But I will always tell about you, the God of Jacob, and I will sing your praise. 10Our Lord, you will destroy the power of evil people, but you will give strength to those who are good.
