1 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
         For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.
         
  “When I choose the proper time,
         I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
         I set up its pillars firmly.  Selah  
         
4 “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
         And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn.
5 Do not lift up your horn on high;
         Do not speak with a stiff neck.’”
         
6 For exaltation comes neither from the east
         Nor from the west nor from the south.
7 But God is the Judge:
         He puts down one,
         And exalts another.
8 For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup,
         And the wine is red;
         It is fully mixed, and He pours it out;
         Surely its dregs shall all the wicked of the earth
         Drain and drink down.
         
9 But I will declare forever,
         I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
         
10 “All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off,
         But the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.”
