Thanksgiving for God's Wondrous Deeds

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1We give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks; your name is near.

People tell of your wondrous deeds.

2At the set time that I appoint

I will judge with equity.

3When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep its pillars steady. Selah

4I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast’,

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;

5do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with insolent neck.’

6For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;

7but it is God who executes judgement,

putting down one and lifting up another.

8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup

with foaming wine, well mixed;

he will pour a draught from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

shall drain it down to the dregs.

9But I will rejoice75.9 Gk: Heb declare for ever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
