Psalm 75
(from Day 15 Morning Prayer)
Confitebimur tibi
- UNTO thee, O God, do we give thanks : yea, unto thee do we give thanks.
- Thy Name also is so nigh : and that do thy wondrous works declare.
- When I receive the congregation : I shall judge according unto right.
- The earth is weak, and all the inhabiters thereof : I bear up the pillars of it.
- I said unto the fools, Deal not so madly : and to the ungodly, Set not up your horn.
- Set not up your horn on high : and speak not with a stiff neck.
- For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west : nor yet from the south.
- And why? God is the Judge : he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
- For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red : it is full mixed, and he poureth out of the same.
- As for the dregs thereof : all the ungodly of the earth shall drink them, and suck them out.
- But I will talk of the God of Jacob : and praise him for ever.
- All the horns of the ungodly also will I break : and the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
