Day XV : Morning Prayer

75 - Confitebimur tibi

1   Unto you, O God, do we give thanks; *
    indeed, unto you do we give thanks.

2   Those who call upon your Name *
    declare your wondrous works.

3   “Surely at the time which I appoint, *
    I, the Lord, will judge according to what is right.

4   The earth shakes with fear, and all that dwell therein; *
    but I, even I, have made firm its pillars.

5   I say to the proud, ‘You should not boast!’ *
    And to the ungodly, ‘Do not lift up your horn!

6   Do not lift up your horn on high, *
    nor speak with a stiff neck.’”

7   For help comes neither from the east nor from the west, *
    nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains.

8   For it is God who is the Judge; *
    he puts down one and lifts up another.

9   For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is foaming; *
    it is fully mixed, and he pours it out.

10  As for the dregs of it, *
    all the ungodly of the earth shall drink them and drain them out.

11  But I will magnify the God of Jacob *
    and praise him for ever and ever.

12  All the horns of the ungodly will I break, *
    but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
