God Abases the Proud, but Exalts the Righteous.

¹ We ^(C1)give thanks and praise to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your wonderful works declare that Your ^(F1)name is ^(C2)near;
People declare ^(C3)Your wonders.

² "When I select an ^(C1)appointed time,
I will ^(C2)judge with equity," says the LORD.

³ "The ^(C1)earth and all the inhabitants of it melt in tumultuous times.
It is I who will steady its ^(C2)pillars. Selah.

⁴ "I said to the arrogant, 'Do not boast;'
And to the wicked, '^(C1)Do not lift up the horn of self-glorification.

⁵ 'Do not lift up your defiant and aggressive horn on high,
^(C1)Do not speak with a stiff neck.'"

⁶ For not from the east, nor from the west,
Nor from the ^(C1)desert comes exaltation. ^(VR1)

⁷ But ^(C1)God is the Judge;
He ^(C2)puts down one and lifts up another.

⁸ For a ^(C1)cup of His wrath is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams;
^(C2)It is well mixed and fully spiced, and He pours out from it;
And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and ^(C3)drink down to its dregs. ^(VR1)

⁹ But as for me, I will ^(C1)declare it and rejoice forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰ All the ^(C1)horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But ^(C2)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
