³ When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
⁴ For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
⁵ You have rebuked the ^[b]nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have ^(C)blotted out their name forever and ever.

⁶ O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has ^(D)perished.
^7 (E)But the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
^8 (F)He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

⁹ The Lord also will be a ^(G)refuge^[c] for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
¹⁰ And those who ^(H)know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

¹¹ Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
^(I)Declare His deeds among the people.
^12 (J)When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the ^[d]humble.

¹³ Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
¹⁴ That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of ^[e]the daughter of Zion.
I will ^(K)rejoice in Your salvation.

^15 (L)The ^[f]nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
¹⁶ The Lord is ^(M)known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
^(N)Meditation.^[g] Selah

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the ^[h]nations ^(O)that forget God.
^18 (P)For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
^(Q)The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

¹⁹ Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the ^[i]nations be judged in Your sight.
²⁰ Put them in fear, O Lord,
That the ^[j]nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
