| 1 | Unto the end. For the secrets of the Son. A Psalm of David. |
| 2 | I will confess to you, Lord, with my whole heart. I will recount all your wonders. |
| 3 | I will rejoice and exult in you. I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High. |
| 4 | For my enemy will be turned back. They will be weakened and perish before your face. |
| 5 | For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause. You have sat upon the throne that judges justice. |
| 6 | You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations. |
| 7 | The spears of the enemy have failed in the end, and their cities, you have destroyed. Their memory has perished with a loud noise. |
| 8 | But the Lord remains in eternity. He has prepared his throne in judgment. |
| 9 | And he will judge the whole world in equity. He will judge the people in justice. |
| 10 | And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor, a helper in opportunity, in tribulation. |
| 11 | And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord. |
| 12 | Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles. |
| 13 | Because of those who yearned for their blood, he has remembered them. He has not forgotten the cry of the poor. |
| 14 | Have mercy on me, Lord. See my humiliation from my enemies. |
| 15 | You lift me up from the gates of death, so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion. |
| 16 | I will exult in your salvation. The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made. Their foot has been caught in the same snare that they themselves had hidden. |
| 17 | The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands. |
| 18 | The sinners will be turned into Hell: all the Gentiles who have forgotten God. |
| 19 | For the poor will not be forgotten in the end. The patience of the poor will not perish in the end. |
| 20 | Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight. |
| 21 | O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men. |
| 22 | So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation? |
| 23 | While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise. |
| 24 | For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed. |
| 25 | The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him. |
| 26 | God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies. |
| 27 | For he has said in his heart, "I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil." |
| 28 | His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow. |
| 29 | He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent. |
| 30 | His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in. |
| 31 | With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor. |
| 32 | For he has said in his heart, "God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end." |
| 33 | O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor. |
| 34 | How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, "He will not inquire." |
| 35 | You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan. |
| 36 | Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found. |
| 37 | The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land. |
| 38 | The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart, |
| 39 | so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth. |
