To thee, O God, will we give thanks,
we will give thanks to thee,
Since thy Name is so near, declare
thy wondrous works will we.
I will uprightly judge, when get
convenient time I may:
The earth is weak, and all therein,
but I her pillars stay.
I did to the mad people say,
Deal not so furiously;
And unto the ungodly ones,
Lift not your horns on high:
I said unto them, Set not up
your rais-ed horns on high,
And see that with stiff neck ye do
not speak presumptuously:
For neither from the eastern parts,
nor from the west likewise,
Nor from forsaken wilderness,
promotion doth arise:
But God, who rules both heav'n and earth,
the righteous Judge alone,
'Tis he that puts down one, and sets
another on the throne.
For why? a cup of mighty wine
is in the hand of God,
And all the mixture of the same
himself will pour abroad:
As for the lees and filthy dregs
that do remain of it,
The wicked of the earth shall drink
and suck them ev'ry whit.
But I will talk of God alway,
and his great Name adore,
And will not cease to celebrate
his praise for evermore.
In sunder break the horns of all
ungodly men will I;
And then the horns of righteous men
shall be exalted high.
