Listen to this chapter • 2:35

[1] I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.

[2] I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

[3] When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

[4] For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

[5] You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

[6] The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

[7] But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

[8] He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

[9] The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

[10] Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

[11] Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.

[12] For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

[13] Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,

[14] that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

[15] The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

[16] The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

[17] The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God.

[18] For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

[19] Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

[20] Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
