God’s Righteous Judgment
For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song.
1We give thanks to You, O God;we give thanks, for Your Name is near.The people declare Your wondrous works.
2“When I choose a time,I will judge fairly. 3When the earth and all its dwellers quake,it is I who bear up its pillars.Selah 4I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn. 5Do not lift up your horn against heavenor speak with an outstretched neck.’”
6For exaltation comes neither from east nor west,nor out of the desert, 7but it is God who judges;He brings down one and exalts another. 8For a cup is in the hand of the LORD,full of foaming wine mixed with spices.He pours from His cup,and all the wicked of the earthdrink it down to the dregs.
9But I will proclaim Himfootnote aforever;I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
10“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
