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

⁴ I ^(C)sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
⁵ They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
⁶ This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
^7 (D)The ^[a]angel of the Lord ^(E)encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

⁸ Oh, ^(F)taste and see that the Lord is good;
^(G)Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
⁹ Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no ^[b]want to those who fear Him.
¹⁰ The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
^(H)But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

¹¹ Come, you children, listen to me;
^(I)I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
^12 (J)Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
¹³ Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking ^(K)deceit.
^14 (L)Depart from evil and do good;
^(M)Seek peace and pursue it.

^15 (N)The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
^16 (O)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
^(P)To ^[c]cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁷ The righteous cry out, and ^(Q)the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
^18 (R)The Lord is near ^(S)to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as ^[d]have a contrite spirit.

^19 (T)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
^(U)But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
²⁰ He guards all his bones;
^(V)Not one of them is broken.
^21 (W)Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be ^[e]condemned.
²² The Lord ^(X)redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

^4 (D)One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
^5 [c]I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And ^[d]on Your wondrous works.
⁶ Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness.
⁷ They shall ^[e]utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.

^8 (E)The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
^9 (F)The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.

^10 (G)All Your works shall praise You, O Lord,
And Your saints shall bless You.
¹¹ They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom,
And talk of Your power,
¹² To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
^13 (H)Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all ^[f]generations.

¹⁴ The Lord upholds all who fall,
And ^(I)raises up all who are bowed down.
^15 (J)The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
And ^(K)You give them their food in due season.
¹⁶ You open Your hand
^(L)And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

¹⁷ The Lord is righteous in all His ways,
Gracious in all His works.
^18 (M)The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him ^(N)in truth.
¹⁹ He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.
^20 (O)The Lord preserves all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.
²¹ My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.
