Psalm 75
Confitebimur tibi
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 10 verses
- 1
We give you thanks, O God, we give you thanks, *
calling upon your Name and declaring all your wonderful deeds. - 2
"I will appoint a time," says God; *
"I will judge with equity. - 3
Though the earth and all its inhabitants are quaking, *
I will make its pillars fast. - 4
I will say to the boasters, 'Boast no more,' *
and to the wicked, 'Do not toss your horns; - 5
Do not toss your horns so high, *
nor speak with a proud neck.'" - 6
For judgment is neither from the east nor from the west, *
nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains. - 7
It is God who judges; *
he puts down one and lifts up another. - 8
For in the LORD'S 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. - 9
But I will rejoice for ever; *
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. - 10
He shall break off all the horns of the wicked; *
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
