1 | <> I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous 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 satest in the throne judging right. |
5 | Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. |
6 | O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed 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 in 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, which 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] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: |
14 | That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
15 | The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot 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 alway 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. |
