1I will praise Thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all Thy marvelous works.

2I will be glad and rejoice in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Thou Most High. 3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at Thy presence. 4For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou didst sit in the throne judging right. 5Thou hast rebuked the nations {heathen}, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast put out their name forever and ever. 6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end; and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 7But the LORD shall endure forever; He hath prepared His throne for judgment.

8And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10And they who know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them who seek Thee. 11Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the people His doings. 12When He maketh inquisition for blood, He remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 13Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them who hate me, Thou Who liftest me up from the gates of death: 14That I may show forth all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in Thy salvation. 15The nations {heathen} are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16The LORD is known by the judgment which He executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17The wicked shall be turned into sheol {hell}, and all the nations that forget God. 18For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. 19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail; let the nations {heathen} be judged in Thy sight.

20Put them in fear, O LORD; that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
