God Judges with Equity

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

For Your name is near;

Men recount Your wondrous deeds.

²“For I select an appointed time,

It is I who judge with equity.

³“The earth and all who dwell in it melt;[#75:3 Or totter]

It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

⁴“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

And to the wicked, ‘Do not raise up the horn;

⁵Do not raise up your horn on high,

Nor speak with insolent pride.’ ”

⁶¶For one’s rising up does not come from the east, nor from the west,

And not from the desert;

⁷But God is the Judge;

He puts down one and raises up another.

⁸For a cup is in the hand of Yahweh, and the wine foams;

It is full of His mixture, and He pours from this;

Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

⁹¶But as for me, I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰And all the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

But the horns of the righteous will be raised up.
