We give thanks and praise to You, O God, we give thanks,

For Your [wonderful works declare that Your] ^(a)name is near;
People declare Your wonders.

“When I select an appointed time,
I will judge with equity,” [says the Lord].

“The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times].
It is I who will steady its pillars. Selah.

“I said to the arrogant, ‘Do not boast;’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn [of self-glorification].

^{Tools

‘Do not lift up your [defiant and aggressive] horn on high,
Do not speak with a stiff neck.’”

^{Tools

For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the desert comes exaltation.^(A)

^{Tools

But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and lifts up another.

^{Tools

For a cup [of His wrath] is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is well mixed and fully spiced, and He pours out from it;
And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs.^(B)

^{Tools

But as for me, I will declare it and rejoice forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

^{Tools
10}

All the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
