God’s Righteous Judgment

For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song.

We give thanks to You, O God;

we give thanks, for Your Name is near.

The people declare Your wondrous works.

God
A sheer wall of ancient layered rock seen from far below, split by one long crack and still standing.

“When I choose a time,

I will judge fairly.

When the earth and all its dwellers quake,

it is I who bear up its pillars.

Selah

I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

Do not lift up your horn against heaven

or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

Pray

Hand it over

What do you want settled today? Name it to God, then leave the date with Him. He said it first: “When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.”

A pale dirt road running straight across an empty desert to a flat, bare horizon, with nobody on it.

For exaltation comes neither from east nor west,

nor out of the desert,

but it is God who judges;

He brings down one and exalts another.

For a cup is in the hand of the LORD,

full of foaming wine mixed with spices.

He pours from His cup,

and all the wicked of the earth

drink it down to the dregs.

But I will proclaim Him forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

God
One great curved ram’s horn lying severed on bare ground, with a second, whole horn set up on a ledge in the shadow behind it.

“All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

but the horns of the righteous will be exalted.”
