[1] Our God, we thank you for being so near to us! Everyone celebrates your wonderful deeds. [2] You have set a time to judge with fairness. [3] The earth trembles, and its people shake; you alone keep its foundations firm. [4] You tell every bragger, "Stop bragging!" And to the wicked you say, "Don't boast of your power! [5] Stop bragging! Quit telling me how great you are." [6] Our LORD and our God, victory doesn't come from the east or the west or from the desert. [7] You are the one who judges. You can take away power and give it to others. [8] You hold in your hand a cup filled with wine, strong and foaming. You will pour out some for every sinful person on this earth, and they will have to drink until it is gone. [9] But I will always tell about you, the God of Jacob, and I will sing your praise. [10] Our Lord, you will destroy the power of evil people, but you will give strength to those who are good.
