¹ I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will recount all your marvelous works. ² I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High. ³ When my enemies are turned back, they will fall and perish at your presence. ⁴ For you have maintained my right and my cause you sit in the throne judging right. ⁵ You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name forever and ever. ⁶ O enemy, destruction has come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities ; their memorial is perished with them. ⁷ But the LORD will endure forever: he has prepared his throne for judgment. ⁸ And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will minister judgment to the people in uprightness. ⁹ The LORD will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. ¹⁰ And those who know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not abandoned those who seek you. ¹¹ Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings. ¹² When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he does not forget the cry of the humble . ¹³ Have mercy on me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you who lifts me up from the gates of death ¹⁴ That I may recount all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation. ¹⁵ The heathens are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid their own foot is taken. ¹⁶ The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked are trapped in the work of their own hands. Higgaion (Resounding Music). Selah. ¹⁷ The wicked will be turned to hell, and all the nations who forget God. ¹⁸ For the needy will not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor will not perish forever. ¹⁹ Arise, O LORD; do not let man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight. ²⁰ Put them in fear , O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be only men. Selah.
