1: I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will
shew forth 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:
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence. |
|
4: For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right. |
|
5: Thou hast rebuked the heathen, 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
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. |
|
7: But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment. |
|
8: And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness. |
|
9: The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble. |
|
10: And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. |
|
11: Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings. |
|
12: When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble. |
|
13: Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I
suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of
death: |
|
14: That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
|
15: The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the
net which they hid is their own foot taken. |
|
16: The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. |
|
17: The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations
that forget God. |
|
18: For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation
of the poor shall not perish for ever. |
|
19: Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged
in thy sight. |
|
20: Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know
themselves to be but men. Selah. |
