(A psalm and a song by Asaph for the music leader. To the tune “Don't Destroy.”[a])

Praise God for All He Has Done

Our God, we thank you
    for being so near to us!
Everyone celebrates
    your wonderful deeds.

You have set a time
    to judge with fairness.
The earth trembles,
    and its people shake;
you alone keep
    its foundations firm.
You tell every bragger,
    “Stop bragging!”
And to the wicked you say,
    “Don't boast of your power!
Stop bragging! Quit telling me
    how great you are.”

Our Lord and our God,
    victory doesn't come
from the east or the west
    or from the desert.
You are the one who judges.
You can take away power
    and give it to others.
You hold in your hand
a cup filled with wine,[b]
    strong and foaming.
You will pour out some
for every sinful person
    on this earth,
and they will have to drink
    until it is gone.
But I will always tell about
you, the God of Jacob,
    and I will sing your praise.

10 Our Lord, you will destroy
    the power of evil people,
but you will give strength
    to those who are good.
