1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

3 W hen my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

4 F or You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

5 Y ou have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.

7 B ut the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8 H e shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9 T he Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.

10 A nd those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 S ing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.

12 W hen He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.

13 H ave mercy on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14 T hat I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.

15 T he nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.

16 T he Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah

17 T he wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.

18 F or the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 A rise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

20 P ut them in fear, O Lord, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
