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.
