I will give thanks to you, O, with my whole heart; * I will tell of all your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you; * I will sing to your Name, O Most High.

When my enemies are driven back, * they will stumble and perish at your presence.

For you have maintained my right and my cause; * you sit upon your throne judging right.

You have rebuked the ungodly and destroyed the wicked; * you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

As for the enemy, they are finished, in perpetual ruin, * their cities ploughed under, the memory of them perished;

But the is enthroned for ever; * he has set up his throne for judgment.

It is he who rules the world with righteousness; * he judges the peoples with equity.

The will be a refuge for the oppressed, * a refuge in time of trouble.

Those who know your Name will put their trust in you, * for you never forsake those who seek you, O.

Sing praise to the who dwells in Zion; * proclaim to the peoples the things he has done.

The Avenger of blood will remember them; * he will not forget the cry of the afflicted.
