    sitting enthroned^(H) as the righteous judge.^(I)
5 You have rebuked the nations^(J) and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name^(K) for ever and ever.
⁶ Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,

    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.^[c](AL)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,^(AM)
    all the nations that forget God.^(AN)
18 But God will never forget the needy;

    he brought me into a spacious place.^(I)
6 The Lord is with me;^(J) I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?^(K)
7 The Lord is with me; he is my helper.^(L)
    I look in triumph on my enemies.^(M)

⁸ It is better to take refuge in the Lord^(N)
    than to trust in humans.^(O)

    but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.^(Q)
11 They surrounded me^(R) on every side,^(S)
    but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
¹² They swarmed around me like bees,^(T)
    but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns;^(U)
    in the name of the Lord I cut them down.^(V)
13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
    but the Lord helped me.^(W)
14 The Lord is my strength^(X) and my defense^[a];
    he has become my salvation.^(Y)

¹⁵ Shouts of joy^(Z) and victory
    resound in the tents of the righteous:
“The Lord’s right hand^(AA) has done mighty things!^(AB)
16     The Lord’s right hand is lifted high;
    the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”
¹⁷ I will not die^(AC) but live,
    and will proclaim^(AD) what the Lord has done.
¹⁸ The Lord has chastened^(AE) me severely,
    but he has not given me over to death.^(AF)

    through which the righteous may enter.^(AJ)
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;^(AK)
    you have become my salvation.^(AL)

²² The stone^(AM) the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;^(AN)
23 the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous^(AO) in our eyes.
²⁴ The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.^(AP)

²⁵ Lord, save us!^(AQ)
    Lord, grant us success!

²⁶ Blessed is he who comes^(AR) in the name of the Lord.
    From the house of the Lord we bless you.^[b](AS)
27 The Lord is God,^(AT)
    and he has made his light shine^(AU) on us.
With boughs in hand,^(AV) join in the festal procession
    up^[c] to the horns of the altar.^(AW)

²⁸ You are my God, and I will praise you;
    you are my God,^(AX) and I will exalt^(AY) you.
