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
