| For the choir director. Almuth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart; I will recount all Your wondrous deeds. |
| 2 |
| I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. |
| 3 |
| When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You. |
| 4 |
| For You have maintained my justice and my cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously. |
| 5 |
| You have rebuked the nations, You have made the wicked perish; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. |
| 6 |
| The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. |
| 7 |
| But Yahweh abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, |
| 8 |
| And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will render justice for the peoples with equity. |
| 9 |
| Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of distress; |
| 10 |
| And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek You. |
| 11 |
| Sing praises to Yahweh, who abides in Zion; Declare among the peoples His acts. |
| 12 |
| For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted. |
| 13 |
| Be gracious to me, O Yahweh; See my affliction from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, |
| 14 |
| That I may recount all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. |
| 15 |
| The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. |
| 16 |
| Yahweh has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah. |
| 17 |
| The wicked will return to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget God. |
| 18 |
| For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. |
| 19 |
| Arise, O Yahweh, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before You. |
| 20 |
| Put them in fear, O Yahweh; Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah. |
