Psalm 75
1We give thee thanks, O God, we give thee thanks, *
calling upon thy Name and declaring all thy wonderful deeds.
2″I will appoint a time,” says God; *
“I will judge with equity.
3Though the earth and all its inhabitants are quaking,*
I will make its pillars fast.
4I will say to the boasters, ‘Boast no more,’ *
and to the wicked, ‘Do not toss thy horns;
5Do not toss thy horns so high,*
nor speak with a proud neck.'”
6For judgment is neither from the east nor from the west,*
nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains.
7It is God who judges;*
he puts down one and lifts up another.
8For in the LORD’S hand there is a cup,
full of spiced and foaming wine, which he pours out,*
and all the wicked of the earth shall drink and drain the dregs.
9But I will rejoice for ever;*
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10He shall break off all the horns of the wicked; *
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Canticle 12 – A Song of Creation (II. The Earth and its Creatures)
Let the earth glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord, O mountains and hills,
and all that grows upon the earth, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord, O springs of water, seas, and streams, *
O whales and all that move in the waters.
All birds of the air, glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
Glorify the Lord, O beasts of the wild, *
and all you flocks and herds.
O men and women everywhere, glorify the Lord, *
praise him and highly exalt him for ever.
