| 1 | For the director of music. To the tune of"The Death of the Son." A psalm of David. I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. | |
| 2 | I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. | |
| 3 | My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you. | |
| 4 | For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously. | |
| 5 | You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. | |
| 6 | Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished. | |
| 7 | The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. | |
| 8 | He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice. | |
| 9 | The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. | |
| 10 | Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. | |
| 11 | Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. | |
| 12 | For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. | |
| 13 | O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, | |
| 14 | that I may declare your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion and there rejoice in your salvation. | |
| 15 | The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. | |
| 16 | The LORD is known by his justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion. Selah | |
| 17 | The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God. | |
| 18 | But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish. | |
| 19 | Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence. | |
| 20 | Strike them with terror, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah | |
