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,^[b]
    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.
