I Will Give Thanks to the LORD

¹ For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David^(a). I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.² I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.³ When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.⁴ For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.⁵ You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.⁶ The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.⁷ But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.⁸ He judges the world with justice; He will govern the people with equity.⁹ The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.¹⁰ Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

¹¹ Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.¹² For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.¹³ Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Snatch me from the gates of death,¹⁴ that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.¹⁵ The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are snared in the net they have hidden.¹⁶ The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah^(a)17 The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.¹⁸ For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.¹⁹ Rise up, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.²⁰ Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
