I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
|
2
|
I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
|
3
|
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened, and perish before thy face.
|
4
|
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
|
5
|
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
|
6
|
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:
|
7
|
But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
|
8
|
And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
|
9
|
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
|
10
|
And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
|
11
|
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
|
12
|
For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
|
13
|
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
|
14
|
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
|
15
|
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
|
16
|
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
|
17
|
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
|
18
|
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
|
19
|
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
|
20
|
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
