3When my enemiesH340 turnH7725 backH268, They stumbleH3782 and 7perishH6 beforeH4480H6440 You.4For You have 8maintainedH6213 9my justH4941 causeH1779; You have satH3427 on the throneH3678 1011judgingH8199 righteouslyH6664.5You have 12rebukedH1605 the nationsH1471, You have destroyedH6 the wickedH7563; You have 13blottedH4229 out their nameH8034 foreverH5769 and everH5703.614The enemyH340 has comeH8552 to an endH8552 in perpetualH5331 ruinsH2723, And You have uprootedH5428 the citiesH5892; The veryH1992 15memoryH2143 of them has perishedH6.
7But the 16LordH3068 17abidesH3427 foreverH5769; He has establishedH3559 His 18throneH3678 for judgmentH4941,8And He will 19judgeH8199 the worldH8398 in righteousnessH6664; He will executeH1777 judgmentH1777 for the peoplesH3816 with equityH4339.920The LordH3068 also will be a 21strongholdH4869 for the oppressedH1790, A strongholdH4869 in timesH6256 of troubleH6869;10And 22those who 23knowH3045 Your nameH8034 will putH982 their trustH982 in You, For You, O LordH3068, have not 24forsakenH5800 those who seekH1875 You.
11SingH2167 praisesH2167 to the LordH3068, who 25dwellsH3427 in ZionH6726; 26DeclareH5046 among the peoplesH5971 His deedsH5949.12For 27He who 28requiresH1875 bloodH1818 remembersH2142 them; He does not forgetH7911 29the cryH6818 of the afflictedH6035.13Be graciousH2603 to me, O LordH3068; SeeH7200 my afflictionH6040 from those 30who hateH8130 me, You who 31liftH7311 me up from the gatesH8179 of deathH4194,14That I may tellH5608 of 32allH3605 Your praisesH8416, That in the gatesH8179 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 I may 33rejoiceH1523 in Your 34salvationH3444.15The nationsH1471 have sunkH2883 downH2883 35in the pitH7845 which they have madeH6213; In the 36netH7568 whichH2098 they hidH2934, their own footH7272 has been caughtH3920.16The LordH3068 has 37madeH3045 Himself knownH3045; He has 38executedH6213 judgmentH4941. In the workH6467 of his own handsH3709 the wickedH7563 is snaredH5367. 39HiggaionH1902 40SelahH5542.
17The wickedH7563 will 4142returnH7725 to 43SheolH7585, Even allH3605 the nationsH1471 whoH7913 44forgetH7913 GodH430.18For the 45needyH34 will not alwaysH5331 be forgottenH7911, Nor the 46hopeH8615 of the afflictedH6041 perishH6 foreverH5703.1947AriseH6965, O LordH3068, do not let manH582 prevailH5810; Let the nationsH1471 be 48judgedH8199 beforeH5921H6440 You.20PutH7896 them 49in fearH4177, O LordH3068; Let the nationsH1471 knowH3045 that they are 50but menH582.
