1   We give thee thanks, O God, we give thee thanks;
  thy name is brought very near to us
  in the story of thy wonderful deeds.

   2   I seize the appointed time
  and then I judge mankind with justice.
   3   When the earth rocks, with all who live on it,
  I make its pillars firm.
   4   To the boastful I say, ‘Boast no more’,
  and to the wicked, ‘Do not toss your proud horns:
   5   toss not your horns against high heaven
  nor speak arrogantly against your Creator.’
   6   No power from the east nor from the west,
  no power from the wilderness, can raise a man up.
     7   For God is judge;
he puts one man down and raises up another.
   8   The Lord holds a cup in his hand,
and the wine foams in it, hot with spice;
he offers it to every man ^note for drink,
and all the wicked on earth must drain it to the dregs.
   9   But I will glorify him for ever;
  I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

   10   I will break off the horns of the wicked,
  but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted high.
