1 ¶ I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High

3 b ecause my enemies are turned back; they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

4 F or thou hast accomplished my judgment and my cause; thou didst sit in the throne judging according to righteousness.

5 T hou hast reprehended the Gentiles, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and the cities that thou hast destroyed; their memorial is perished with them.

7 B ut the LORD shall endure for ever; he has prepared his throne for judgment.

8 A nd he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall judge the peoples in uprightness.

9 T he LORD also will be a refuge to the humble, a refuge for the time of trouble.

10 A nd those that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, O LORD, hast not forsaken those that seek thee.

11 ¶ Sing unto the LORD, he who dwells in Zion; declare among the people his doings.

12 W hen he makes requirement for blood, he remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the humble.

13 H ave mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from those that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 t hat I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy saving health.

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

16 T he LORD is known by the judgment which he has executed; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion (meditate on this for ever). Selah.

17 T he wicked shall be put into Sheol, all the Gentiles that forget God.

18 F or the humble shall not always be forgotten: the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 A rise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.

20 P ut fear into them, O LORD: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
