¹ We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near; people tell of your wonderful deeds. ² You say, “I choose the appointed time; it is I who judge with equity. ³ When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm. ⁴ To the arrogant I say, ‘Boast no more,` and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns. <sup>5</sup> Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.`” ⁶ No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves. ⁷ It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another. ⁸ In the hand of the Lord is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs.
