| 1We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds. | 1We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds. |
| 2God says, “At the time I have planned, I will bring justice against the wicked. | 2“At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity. |
| 3When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude | 3When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants, it is I who keep steady its pillars. Selah |
| 4“I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’ I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists! | 4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn; |
| 5Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens or speak with such arrogance.’” | 5do not lift up your horn on high, or speak with haughty neck.’” |
| 6For no one on earth—from east or west, or even from the wilderness— should raise a defiant fist. | 6For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, |
| 7It is God alone who judges; he decides who will rise and who will fall. | 7but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. |
| 8For the LORD holds a cup in his hand that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours out the wine in judgment, and all the wicked must drink it, draining it to the dregs. | 8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs. |
| 9But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. | 9But I will declare it forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. |
| 10For God says, “I will break the strength of the wicked, but I will increase the power of the godly.” | 10All the horns of the wicked I will cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. |
