1. We give you thanks, O God, because your name is near. All speak of your majestic deeds; your voice we also hear: [Sing to the Lord 75]

2. 2. “I choose th’appointed time; I judge with justice sure. When earth and all its people quake, its pillars I secure.

3. 3. “ ‘Boast not!’ I tell the proud; the wicked I address: ‘Do not lift up your heads with pride or speak with haughtiness.’ ”

4. 4. No one in all the earth can truly give renown. God is the judge; he raises one and puts another down.

5. 5. The L ORD ’s hand holds a cup with wine of pow’rful blend; he pours it out, and wicked ones must drink it to the end.

6. 6. God’s works I will proclaim, and Jacob’s God I’ll praise. The wicked’s strength I will destroy; the righteous I will raise. Sing to the Lord 75 Used with permission Text: Sing Psalms, © Psalmody Committee, Free Church of Scotland, 2003 Tune: Charles Lockhart, 1791
