1 I will praise you, LORD, with all
my heart;
I will tell you of all the wonderful
things you have done.
2 I will sing with joy because of you
I will sing praise to you,
Almighty God.
3. My enemies turn back when you
appear;
they fall down and die.
4 You are fair and honest in ypur
judgments,
and you have judged in my
favor.
5 You have condemned the heathen
and destroyed the wicked;
they will be remembered no
more.
6 Our enemies are punished forever;
you have destroyed their cities,
and they are completely
forgotten.
7 But the LORD is king forever;
he has set up his throne for
judgment.
8 He rules the world with
righteousness;
he judges the nations with
justice.
9 The LORD is refuge for the
oppressed,
a place of safety in times of
trouble.
10 Those who know you, LORD, will
trust you;
you do not abandon anyone who
comes to you.
11Sing praise to the LORD, who rules
in Zion!
Tell every nation what he has
done!
12 God remembers those who suffer;
he does not forget their cry,
and he punishes those who
wrong them.
13 Be merciful to me, O LORD!
See the sufferings my enemies
cause me!
Rescue me from death, O LORD,
that I may stand before the
people of Jerusalem
and tell them all the things for
for which I praise yo.
I will rejoice because you
saved me.
15 The heathen have dug a pit and
fallen in;
they have een caught in their
own trap
16 The LORD has revealed himself by
his righteous judgments,
and the wicked are trapped by
their own deeds.
17 Death is the destiny of all the
wicked,
of all those who reject God.
18 The needy will not always be
neglected;
the hope of the poor will not be
crushed forever.
19 Come LORD! Do not let anyone
defy you!
Bring the heathen before you
and pronounce judgment on
them.
20 Make them afraid, O LORD;
make them know that they are
only mortal beings.
