1. |
I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. |
2. |
I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. |
3. |
When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence. |
4. |
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously. |
5. |
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. |
6. |
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished. |
7. |
But Jehovah sitteth `as king' for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; |
8. |
And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. |
9. |
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble; |
10. |
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. |
11. |
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. |
12. |
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor. |
13. |
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction `which I suffer' of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death; |
14. |
That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
15. |
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. |
16. |
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah |
17. |
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. |
18. |
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever. |
19. |
Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight. |
20. |
Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah |
