751 We give thanks to you, God.
We give thanks, for your Name is near.
Men tell about your wondrous works. 2 When I choose the appointed time,
I will judge blamelessly. 3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake.
I firmly hold its pillars. Selah. 4 I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!”
I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn. 5 Don’t lift up your horn on high.
Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. 7 But God is the judge.
He puts down one, and lifts up another. 8 For in the hand of Yahweh there is a cup,
full of foaming wine mixed with spices.
He pours it out.
Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs. 9 But I will declare this forever:
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked,
but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
