We agivethanks to You, O God, we givethanks,For Your name is bnear;Men recountcYour wondrousdeeds.2“For I select an aappointedtime,It is I who bjudge with equity.3“The aearth and all who dwell in it 1melt;It is I who have firmlyset its bpillars. 2Selah.4“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’And to the wicked, ‘aDo not raiseup the horn;5Do not raiseup your horn on high,aNor speak with insolent1pride.’”6For one’srisingup does not come from the east, nor from the west,And not from the 1,adesert;7But aGod is the Judge;He bputsdownone and raisesupanother.8For a acup is in the hand of Yahweh, and the winefoams;It is bfull of Hismixture, and He pours from this;Surelyall the wicked of the earth must drainandcdrinkdown its dregs.9But as for me, I will adeclareitforever;I will singpraises to the God of Jacob.10And all the ahorns of the wicked I will cutoff,Butbthe horns of the righteous will be raisedup.
