Great Psalm
1 We thank thee, O God, we thank thee, for thy name is near; everyone speaks of your wonderful deeds.
2 You say: “I determine the time when I will judge with justice.
3 When the earth trembles with all its inhabitants, it is I who keep its pillars firm.
4 To the arrogant I say: Stop boasting! And to the wicked: Do not rebel!
5 Do not rebel against the heavens; do not speak insolently”.
6 It is not from the east or the west or the desert that exaltation comes.
7 It is God who judges: Humiliate one, exalt another.
8 In the hand of the Lord is a cup filled with sparkling wine mixed with it; he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth drink it to the last drop.
9 As for me, I will proclaim these things forever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 I will destroy the power of all the wicked, but the power of the righteous will increase.
