- Unto thee God we will give thanks,
- we will give thanks to thee:
- Sith thy name is so near declare
- thy wondrous work will we.
-
- 2 I will uprightly judge, when get
- convenient time I may:
- The earth is weak, and all therein,
- but I her pillars stay.
-
- 3 I did to the mad people say,
- deal not so furiously:
- And unto the ungodly ones,
- set not your horns on high.
-
- 4 I said unto them, set not up
- your raised horns on high:
- And see that you do with stiff neck,
- not speak presumptuously.
-
- 5 For neither from the eastern parts
- nor from the western side:
- Nor from forsaken wilderness,
- protection doth proceed.
-
- 6 For why? the Lord our God he is
- the righteous Judge alone;
- He putteth down the one, and sets
- another in the throne.
-
- 7 For why? a cup of mighty wine
- is in the hand of God:
- And all the mighty wine therein
- himself doth pour abroad.
-
- 8 As for the lees and filthy dregs,
- that do remain of it,
- The wicked of the earth shall drink,
- and suck them every whit.
-
- 9 But I will take of God I say,
- of Jacob’s God therefore:
- And will not cease to celebrate
- his praise forevermore.
-
- 10 In sunder break the horns of all
- ungodly men will I:
- But then the horns of righteous men
- shall be exalted high.
