1I will praise you, O Lord , with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.
2I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
4For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
7The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
8He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.
9The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord , have never forsaken those who seek you.
11Sing praises to the Lord , enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13O Lord , see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14that I may declare your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion and there rejoice in your salvation.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16The Lord is known by his justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion. Selah
17The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God.
18But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
19Arise, O Lord , let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
20Strike them with terror, O Lord ; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
