[1] God, we thank you. We thank you because you are near. We tell about the wonderful things you do. [2] You say, "I set the time for trial. I will judge fairly. [3] The earth with all its people may shake. I am the one who holds it steady. Selah [4] I say to those who are proud, 'Don't brag.' I say to the wicked, 'Don't show your power. [5] Don't try to use your power against heaven. Don't be stubborn.'" [6] No one from the east or the west or the desert can judge you. [7] God is the judge. He judges one person as guilty, and another as innocent. [8] The Lord holds a cup of anger in his hand. It is full of wine mixed with spices. He pours it out even to the last drop. And the wicked drink it all. [9] I will tell about this forever. I will sing praise to the God of Jacob. [10] He will take all power away from the wicked. But the power of good people will grow.
