# Chapter 75
|
||
1 We thank you, O God!
|
||
We give thanks because you are near.
|
||
People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds.
|
||
2 God says, “At the time I have planned,
|
||
I will bring justice against the wicked.
|
||
3 When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil,
|
||
I am the one who keeps its foundations firm. Interlude
|
||
4 “I warned the proud, ‘Stop your boasting!’
|
||
I told the wicked, ‘Don’t raise your fists!
|
||
5 Don’t raise your fists in defiance at the heavens
|
||
or speak with such arrogance.’”
|
||
6 For no one on earth—from east or west,
|
||
or even from the wilderness—
|
||
should raise a defiant fist.
|
||
7 It is God alone who judges;
|
||
he decides who will rise and who will fall.
|
||
8 For the Lord holds a cup in his hand
|
||
that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
|
||
He pours out the wine in judgment,
|
||
and all the wicked must drink it,
|
||
draining it to the dregs.
|
||
9 But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done;
|
||
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
|
||
10 For God says, “I will break the strength of the wicked,
|
||
but I will increase the power of the godly.” |
