[1] I will praise Thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works. [2] I will be glad and rejoice in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Thou Most High. [3] When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at Thy presence. [4] For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest on the throne judging right. [5] Thou hast rebuked the heathen, Thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. [6] O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and Thou hast destroyed their cities; their memorial is perished with them. [7] But the LORD shall endure for ever; He hath prepared His throne for judgment. [8] And He shall judge the world with righteousness; He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. [9] The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. [10] And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee. [11] Sing praises to the LORD who dwelleth in Zion! Declare among the people His doings. [12] When He maketh inquisition for blood, He remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the humble. [13] Have mercy upon me, O LORD! Consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, [14] that I may show forth all Thy praise at the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Thy salvation. [15] The heathen have sunk down into 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 executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah [17] The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. [18] For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. [19] Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the heathen be judged in Thy sight. [20] Put them in fear, O LORD; that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
