Yahweh Will Judge the World in Righteousness

^1 (F1)I will give thanks to Yahweh with all ^(C1)my heart;
I will ^(C2)recount all Your ^(F2)wondrous deeds.

² I will be glad and ^(C1)exult in You;
I will ^(C2)sing praise to Your name, O ^(C3)Most High.

³ When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and ^(C1)perish before You.

⁴ For You have ^(C1)maintained my ^(F1)justice and my cause;
You have sat on the throne ^(F2)(C2)judging righteously.

⁵ You have ^(C1)rebuked the nations, You have made the wicked perish;
You have ^(C2)blotted out their name forever and ever.

^6 (F1)The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ^(F2)ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very ^(C1)memory of them has perished.

⁷ But ^(C1)Yahweh ^(F1)abides forever;
He has established His ^(C2)throne for judgment,

⁸ And He will ^(C1)judge the world in righteousness;
He will render justice for the peoples with equity.

^9 (F1)Yahweh also will be a ^(C1)stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of ^(F2)distress;

¹⁰ And ^(F1)those who ^(C1)know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O Yahweh, have not ^(C2)forsaken those who seek You.

¹¹ Sing praises to Yahweh, who ^(C1)abides in Zion;
^(C2)Declare among the peoples His acts.

¹² For ^(C1)He who ^(F1)requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget ^(C2)the cry of the afflicted.

¹³ Be gracious to me, O Yahweh;
See my affliction from those ^(C1)who hate me,
You who ^(C2)lift me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴ That I may recount ^(C1)all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may ^(C2)rejoice in Your ^(F1)salvation.

¹⁵ The nations have sunk down ^(C1)in the pit which they have made;
In the ^(C2)net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

¹⁶ Yahweh has ^(C1)made Himself known;
He has ^(C2)executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. ^(F1)Higgaion ^Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F2)Selah.

¹⁷ The wicked will ^(F1)(C1)return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who ^(C2)forget God.

¹⁸ For the ^(C1)needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the ^(C2)hope of the afflicted perish forever.

^19 (C1)Arise, O Yahweh, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be ^(C2)judged before You.

²⁰ Put them ^(C1)in fear, O Yahweh;
Let the nations know that they are ^(C2)but men. Selah.
