³ When my enemies turned back,
    they stumbled and perished before you.^(C)
4 For you have maintained my just cause;
    you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.^(D)

⁵ You have rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name forever and ever.^(E)
6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you have rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.^(F)

⁷ But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
    he has established his throne for judgment.^(G)
8 He judges the world with righteousness;
    he judges the peoples with equity.^(H)

⁹ The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.^(I)
10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,
    for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.^(J)

¹¹ Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion.
    Declare his deeds among the peoples.^(K)
12 For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;
    he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.^(L)

¹³ Be gracious to me, O Lord.
    See what I suffer from those who hate me;
    you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death,^(M)
14 so that I may recount all your praises
    and, in the gates of daughter Zion,
    rejoice in your deliverance.^(N)

¹⁵ The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
    in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught.^(O)
16 The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment;
    the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah^(P)

¹⁷ The wicked shall depart to Sheol,
    all the nations that forget God.^(Q)

¹⁸ For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
    nor the hope of the poor perish forever.^(R)

¹⁹ Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail;
    let the nations be judged before you.^(S)
20 Put them in fear, O Lord;
    let the nations know that they are only human. Selah^(T)
