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. 3The earth and all who dwell in it [†]melt; It is I who have firmly set its pillars. [†]Selah. 4I 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.’” 6For 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. 9But 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.
