| 1 | (To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.) 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 alway 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. |
