[1] I will give thanks to You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will declare 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 are turned back, they will stumble and perish at Your presence. [4] For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging what is right. [5] You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have wiped out their name forever and ever. [6] O you enemy, destructions have come to you for a perpetual end. You have destroyed cities; their memory perished with them. [7] But the LORD remains forever; He has established His throne for judgment. [8] He will judge the world in righteousness; He will give judgment to the peoples in uprightness. [9] The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. [10] 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] He who avenges deaths remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. [13] Be gracious to me, O LORD; consider my trouble from those who hate me, O 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, that I may rejoice in Your salvation. [15] The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their own foot is caught in the net which they hid. [16] The LORD is known by the judgment that He executes; the wicked one is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah [17] The wicked will be turned to Sheol, and all the nations that forget God. [18] For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the poor perish forever. [19] Arise, O LORD, may mortals not prevail; let the nations be judged in Your sight. [20] Put them in fear, O LORD, that the nations themselves may know they are mortals. Selah
