God Will Judge with Equity

To the choirmaster: according to lDo Not Destroy. mA Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

¹We give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks, for your name is nnear.

We1 recount your wondrous deeds.

²“At othe set time that I appoint

I will judge pwith equity.

³When the earth qtotters, and all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady its rpillars. Selah

⁴I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, s‘Do not lift up your horn;

⁵do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with haughty neck.’”

⁶For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes tlifting up,

⁷but it is uGod who executes judgment,

vputting down one and lifting up another.

⁸wFor in the hand of the Lord there is xa cup

with foaming wine, ywell mixed,

and he pours out from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

shall zdrain it down to the dregs.

⁹But I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰aAll the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

bbut the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Who Can Stand Before You?

To the choirmaster: with cstringed instruments. A Psalm of dAsaph. A Song.

¹In Judah God is eknown;

his name is great in Israel.

²His fabode has been established in gSalem,

his hdwelling place in Zion.

³There he ibroke the flashing arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

⁴Glorious are you, more majestic

jthan the mountains full of kprey.

⁵lThe stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;

mthey sank into sleep;

all the men of war

were unable to use their hands.

⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both nrider and horse lay stunned.

⁷oBut you, you are to be feared!

Who can pstand before you

when once your anger is roused?

⁸From the heavens you uttered judgment;

qthe earth feared and was still,

⁹when God rarose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

¹⁰Surely sthe wrath of man shall praise you;

the remnant1 of wrath you will put on like a belt.

¹¹tMake your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;

let all around him ubring gifts

to him who vis to be feared,

¹²who wcuts off the spirit of princes,

who xis to be feared by the kings of the earth.
