9 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
    I will recount all of your wonderful 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^[c] your presence.
⁴ For you have maintained my just cause;
    you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgement.
⁵ You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
    you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
⁶ The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.
⁷ But the Lord sits enthroned for ever;
    he has established his throne for justice,
⁸ and he judges the world with righteousness;
    he judges the peoples with uprightness.
⁹ The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.
¹⁰ And those who know your name put their trust in you,
    for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
¹¹ Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!
    Tell among the peoples his deeds!
¹² For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;
    he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
¹³ Be gracious to me, O Lord!
    See my affliction from those who hate me,
    O 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 in the pit that they made;
    in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
¹⁶ The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgement;
    the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.^[d] Selah
¹⁷ The wicked shall return to Sheol,
    all the nations that forget God.
¹⁸ For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
    and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
¹⁹ Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail;
    let the nations be judged before you!
²⁰ Put them in fear, O Lord!
    Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
