| 1 |
For the choirmaster. Tune: 'Do not destroy.' Psalm. Of Asaph. Song. We give thanks to you, God, we give thanks to you,
as we call upon your name, as we recount your wonders. |
|
| 2 |
'At the appointed time
I myself shall dispense justice.
|
|
| 3 |
The earth quakes and all its inhabitants;
it is I who hold its pillars firm. Pause |
|
| 4 |
'I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast!'
to the wicked, 'Do not flaunt your strength!
|
|
| 5 |
Do not flaunt your strength so proudly,
do not talk with that arrogant stance.' ' |
|
| 6 |
No longer from east to west,
no longer in the mountainous desert,
|
|
| 7 |
is God judging in uprightness,
bringing some down, raising others.
|
|
| 8 |
Yahweh is holding a cup
filled with a heady blend of wine;
he will pour it, they will drink it to the dregs,
all the wicked on earth will drink it. |
|
| 9 |
But I shall speak out for ever,
shall make music for the God of Jacob.
|
|
| 10 |
I shall break down all the strength of the wicked,
and the strength of the upright will rise high. |
