¹ <> I will give thanks to the 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 Elyon. ³ When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence. ⁴ For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously. ⁵ You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. ⁶ The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. ⁷ But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. ⁸ He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. ⁹ The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower 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 Tziyon, And declare among the people what he has done. ¹² For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted. ¹³ Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death; ¹⁴ That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Tziyon I will rejoice in your salvation. ¹⁵ The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken. ¹⁶ The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah. ¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned back to She'ol, Even all the nations that forget God. ¹⁸ For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever. ¹⁹ Arise, LORD! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight. ²⁰ Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
