| 1 | Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. |
| 2 | I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders. |
| 3 | I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high. |
| 4 | When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face. |
| 5 | For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice. |
| 6 | Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. |
| 7 | The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise. |
| 8 | But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment: |
| 9 | And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice. |
| 10 | And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation. |
| 11 | And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord. |
| 12 | Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles: |
| 13 | For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor. |
| 14 | Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies. |
| 15 | Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion. |
| 16 | I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid. |
| 17 | The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands. |
| 18 | The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. |
| 19 | For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever. |
| 20 | Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight. |
| 21 | Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men. |
| 22 | Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble? |
| 23 | Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise. |
| 24 | For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed. |
| 25 | The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him: |
| 26 | God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies. |
| 27 | For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil. |
| 28 | His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow. |
| 29 | He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent. |
| 30 | His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him. |
| 31 | In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor. |
| 32 | For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end. |
| 33 | Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor. |
| 34 | Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it. |
| 35 | Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan. |
| 36 | Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found. |
| 37 | The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land. |
| 38 | The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart. |
| 39 | To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth. |
