Through the cross and resurrection of Christ, God has already judged the world; to the just he has given the assurance that they will triumph.
1* 2We give you thanks, O God, we give thanks. Those who invoke your name will recount your wonderful deeds.
3“At a set time I will judge fairly. 4The earth wobbles with its inhabitants, but I will restore its foundations.
5To the proud I say, ‘Boast no more.’ And to the wicked, ‘Raise not your head. 6Do not lift yourself so high, do not insult God.’”
7God comes, though not from the east or the west, nor from the mountains or desert;
8God comes to judge, putting one down and lifting up another.
9In the hand of the Lord is a cup of spiced and foaming wine; he pours it out for the wicked to drain to the dregs.
10As for me, I will rejoice forever and sing praises to the God of Jacob.
11He will break the power of the wicked, but the power of the virtuous will be exalted.
