Opening the chapter…
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done for us.
You have said, "I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge everyone fairly.
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will keep its foundations steady.
I say to people who boast, 'Stop bragging!' and I say to wicked people, 'Do not proudly do things to show how great you are!'"
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
God is the one who judges people; he shames and punishes some, and he honors others.
It is as though God held a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that has spices mixed in it to cause those who drink it to become more drunk; and when God pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it; yes, he will punish them fully.
But as for me, I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob worshiped has done; I will never stop singing to praise him.
He promises this: "I will destroy the power of wicked people, but I will increase the power of righteous people."
