 Forget not the clamor of your adversaries, * the unending tumult of those who rise up against you.

We give you thanks, O God, we give you thanks, * calling upon your Name and declaring all your wonderful deeds.

“I will appoint a time,” says God; * “I will judge with equity.

Though the earth and all its inhabitants are quaking, * I will make its pillars fast.

I will say to the boasters, ‘Boast no more,’ * and to the wicked, ‘Do not toss your horns;

Do not toss your horns so high, * nor speak with a proud neck.’”

For judgment is neither from the east nor from the west, * nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains.

It is God who judges; * he puts down one and lifts up another.

For in the L hand there is a cup, full of spiced and foaming wine, which he pours out, * and all the wicked of the earth shall drink and drain the dregs.

But I will rejoice for ever; * I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

He shall break off all the horns of the wicked; * but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
