1We give thanks to you, God.
We give thanks, for your Name is near.
Men tell about your wondrous works.
2When I choose the appointed time,
I will judge blamelessly.
3The earth and all its inhabitants quake.
I firmly hold its pillars.
Selah.
4I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!”
I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
5Don’t lift up your horn on high.
Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
6For neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
7But God is the judge.
He puts down one, and lifts up another.
8For in Yahweh’s hand there is a cup,
full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He pours it out.
Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.
9But I will declare this forever:
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
1In Judah, God is known.
His name is great in Israel.
2His tabernacle is also in Salem;
His dwelling place in Zion.
3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war.
Selah.
4Glorious are you, and excellent,
more than mountains of game.
5Valiant men lie plundered,
they have slept their last sleep.
None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7You, even you, are to be feared.
Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8You pronounced judgment from heaven.
The earth feared, and was silent,
9when God arose to judgment,
to save all the afflicted ones of the earth.
Selah.
10Surely the wrath of man praises you.
The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them!
Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12He will cut off the spirit of princes.
He is feared by the kings of the earth.
