I will give thanks to the LORD with all ^(C1)my heart; I will ^(C2)tell of all Your ^(F1)wonders.

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

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

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

You have ^(C1)rebuked the nations, You have eliminated the wicked; You have ^(C2)wiped out their name forever and ever.

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

But the ^(C1)LORD ^(F1)sits as King forever; He has established His ^(C2)throne for judgment,

And He will ^(C1)judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly.

^(F1)The LORD will also be a ^(C1)stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;

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

Sing praises to the LORD, who ^(C1)dwells in Zion; ^(C2)Declare His deeds among the peoples.

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

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

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

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

The LORD has ^(C1)made Himself known; He has ^(C2)executed judgment. A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. ^(F1)Higgaion Selah

The wicked will ^(F1)(C1)return to ^(F2)Sheol, All the nations who ^(C2)forget God.

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

^(C1)Arise, LORD, do not let mankind prevail; Let the nations be ^(C2)judged before You.

Put them ^(C1)in fear, LORD; Let the nations know that they are ^(C2)merely human. Selah

In the LORD I ^(C1)take refuge; How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your ^(C2)mountain?

-"For, behold, the wicked ^(C1)bend the bow, They have ^(F1)(C2)set their arrow on the string To ^(C3)shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

-"If the ^(C1)foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?"

The LORD is in His ^(C1)holy temple; the ^(F1)LORD'S ^(C2)throne is in heaven; His ^(C3)eyes see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind.

The LORD ^(C1)tests the righteous and ^(C2)the wicked, And His soul hates one who loves violence.

He will ^(C1)rain ^(F1)coals of fire upon the wicked, ^(C2)And brimstone and ^(C3)burning wind will be the portion of ^(C4)their cup.

For the LORD is ^(C1)righteous, ^(C2)He loves ^(F1)righteousness; The upright will ^(C3)see His face.
