\b
|

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 We give thanks to you;
|
||
|
|
\q2 our God, we thank you.
|
||
|
|
\q1 You are close to us,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done for us.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 You have said, "I have appointed a time when I will judge people,
|
||
|
|
\q2 and I will judge everyone fairly.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
\q2 and all the creatures on the earth tremble,
|
||
|
|
\q1 I am the one who will keep its foundations steady.

|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 I say to people who boast, 'Stop bragging!'
|
||
|
|
\q1 and I say to wicked people, 'Do not proudly do things to show how great you are!'"
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 5 Do not be arrogant,
|
||

|
\v 6 The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west,

|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 God is the one who judges people;
|
||
|
|
\q2 he shames and punishes some, and he honors others.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 It is as though Yahweh held a cup in his hand;
|
||
|
|
\q2 it is filled with wine that has spices mixed in it to cause those who drink it to become more drunk;
|
||
|
|
\q1 and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it;
|
||
|
|
\q2 they will drink every drop of it; yes, he will punish them fully.

\q1 I will never stop singing to praise him.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 10 He promises this: "I will destroy the power of wicked people,
|
||
|
|
\q1 but I will increase the power of righteous people."
