1 I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.

3 W hen mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:

4 F or thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.

5 T hou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6 O enemy! destructions are ended for ever.—Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

7 B ut Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

8 A nd it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

9 A nd Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.

10 A nd they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 S ing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.

12 F or when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.

13 B e gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

14 T hat I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.

15 T he nations are sunk down in the pit they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.

16 J ehovah is known the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17 T he wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

18 F or the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.

19 A rise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

20 P ut them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
