1I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 with allH3605 1my heartH3820; I will 2tellH5608 of allH3605 Your 3wondersH6381.2I will rejoiceH8055 and be 4jubilantH5970 in You; I will 5singH2167 praiseH2167 to Your nameH8034, O 6MostH5945 HighH5945.

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 eliminatedH6 the wickedH7563; You have 13wipedH4229 outH4229 their nameH8034 foreverH5769 and everH5703.614The enemyH340 has comeH8552 toH8552 anH8552 endH8552 in everlastingH5331 ruinsH2723, And You have uprootedH5428 the citiesH5892; The veryH1992 15memoryH2143 of them has perishedH6.

7But the 16LordH3068 17sitsH3427 as King foreverH5769; He has establishedH3559 His 18throneH3678 for judgmentH4941,8And He will 19judgeH8199 the worldH8398 in righteousnessH6664; He will executeH1777 judgmentH1777 for the peoplesH3816 fairlyH4339.920The LordH3068 will also 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, LordH3068, have not 24abandonedH5800 those who seekH1875 You.

11SingH2167 praisesH2167 to the LordH3068, who 25dwellsH3427 in ZionH6726; 26DeclareH5046 His deedsH5949 among the peoplesH5971.12For 27He who 28requiresH1875 bloodH1818 remembersH2142 them; He does not forgetH7911 29the cryH6818 of the needyH6035.13BeH2603 graciousH2603 to me, LordH3068; SeeH7200 my oppressionH6040 from those 30who hateH8130 me, You who 31liftH7311 me upH7311 from the gatesH8179 of deathH4194,14SoH4616 thatH4616 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 35into 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. A wickedH7563 oneH7563 is ensnaredH3369 in the workH6467 of his own handsH3709. 39HiggaionH1902 SelahH5542

17The wickedH7563 will 4041returnH7725 to 42SheolH7585, AllH3605 the nationsH1471 who 43forgetH7913 GodH430.18For the 44needyH34 will not alwaysH5331 be forgottenH7911, Nor the 45hopeH8615 of the afflictedH6041 perishH6 foreverH5703.1946AriseH6965, LordH3068, do not let mankindH582 prevailH5810; Let the nationsH1471 be 47judgedH8199 beforeH5921H6440 You.20PutH7896 them 48in fearH4177, LordH3068; Let the nationsH1471 knowH3045 that they are 49merely humanH582.
