[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] When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence. [4] For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness. [5] You 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] But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. [8] He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. [9] The LORD also will 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 forsaken those who seek You. [11] Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. [12] When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. [13] Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, [14] That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation. [15] The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. [16] The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. 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 forever. [19] Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. [20] Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
