We ^(C1)give thanks to You, God, we give thanks, For Your name is ^(C2)near; People declare ^(C3)Your wondrous works.

"When I select an ^(C1)appointed time, It is I who ^(C2)judge fairly.

-"The ^(C1)earth and all who inhabit it ^(F1)are unsteady; It is I who have firmly set its ^(C2)pillars. Selah

-"I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, '^(C1)Do not lift up the horn;

Do not lift up your horn on high, ^(C1)Do not speak with insolent ^(F1)pride.'"

For not from the east, nor from the west, Nor from the ^(F1)(C1)desert comes exaltation;

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

For a ^(C1)cup is in the hand of the LORD, and the wine foams; It is ^(F1)(C2)well mixed, and He pours out of this; Certainly all the wicked of the earth must drain and ^(C3)drink its dregs.

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

And ^(F1)He will cut off all the ^(C1)horns of the wicked, But ^(C2)the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

God is ^(C1)known in Judah; His name is ^(C2)great in Israel.

His ^(F1)(C1)tabernacle is in ^(C2)Salem; His ^(C3)dwelling place also is in Zion.

There He ^(C1)broke the ^(F1)flaming arrows, The shield, the sword, and the ^(F2)weapons of war. Selah

You are resplendent, ^(F1)More majestic than the mountains of prey.

The ^(C1)stouthearted were plundered, ^(F1)They sank into sleep; And none of the ^(F2)warriors could use his hands.

At Your ^(C1)rebuke, God of Jacob, Both ^(F1)(C2)rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

You, You indeed are ^(C1)to be feared, And ^(C2)who may stand in Your presence, ^(F1)once You are angry?

You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth ^(C1)feared and was still

When God ^(C1)arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah

For the ^(F1)(C1)wrath of mankind shall praise You; You will encircle Yourself with a remnant of wrath.

^(C1)Make vows to the LORD your God and ^(C2)fulfill them; All who are around Him are to ^(C3)bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.

He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is ^(F1)(C1)feared by the kings of the earth.

My voice rises to God, and I will ^(C1)cry aloud; My voice rises to God, and He will listen to me.

In the ^(C1)day of my trouble I sought the Lord; ^(C2)In the night my ^(C3)hand was stretched out and did not grow weary; My soul ^(C4)refused to be comforted.

When I remember God, then I am ^(C1)restless; When I ^(C2)sigh, then ^(C3)my spirit feels weak. Selah

You have held my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I ^(C1)cannot speak.

I have considered the ^(C1)days of old, The years of long ago.

I will remember my ^(C1)song in the night; I ^(C2)will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ^(F1)ponders:

Will the Lord ^(C1)reject forever? And will He ^(C2)never be favorable again?

Has His ^(C1)favor ceased forever? Has His ^(F1)(C2)promise come to an end ^(F2)forever?

Has God ^(C1)forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger ^(F1)withdrawn His ^(C2)compassion? Selah

Then I said, "^(C1)It is my ^(F1)grief, That the ^(C2)right hand of the Most High has changed."

I shall remember the ^(C1)deeds of ^(F1)the LORD; I will certainly ^(C1)remember Your wonders of old.

I will ^(C1)meditate on all Your work, And on Your deeds with thanksgiving.

Your way, God, is ^(C1)holy; ^(C2)What god is great like our God?

You are the ^(C1)God who works wonders; You have ^(C2)made known Your strength among the peoples.

By Your ^(F1)power You have ^(C1)redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and ^(C2)Joseph. Selah

The ^(C1)waters saw You, God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The ocean depths also trembled.

The ^(C1)clouds poured out water; The skies ^(F1)(C2)sounded out; Your ^(C3)arrows ^(F2)flashed here and there.

The ^(C1)sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The ^(C2)lightning lit up the world; The ^(C3)earth trembled and shook.

Your ^(C1)way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints were not known.

You ^(C1)led Your people like a flock By the hand of ^(C2)Moses and Aaron.
