… but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up

… but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up




We give thanks to you, O God,

we give thanks, for your Name is near;

men tell of your wonderful deeds.

You say, "I choose the appointed time;

it is I who judge uprightly.

When the earth and all its people quake,

it is I who hold its pillars firm.

Selah

To the arrogant I say, 'Boast no more,'

and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns.

Do not lift your horns against heaven;

do not speak with outstretched neck.' "

No one from the east or the west

or from the desert can exalt a man.

But it is God who judges:

He brings one down, he exalts another.

In the hand of the LORD is a cup

full of foaming wine mixed with spices;

he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth

drink it down to its very dregs.

As for me, I will declare this forever;

I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

I will cut off the horns of all the wicked,

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.
