1 With all my heart I will praise the LORD, 2I will rejoice and exult in you, 3because backward my foes were turned, 4My right and my claim you have upheld, 5rebuking the nations, destroying the wicked, 6The foe is vanished, ruined forever, 7See! The LORD is seated forever 8ruling the world with justice, 9So the LORD proves a haven to the oppressed, 10Well may they trust you who know your name, 11Sing praise to the LORD, whose home is in Zion, 12As avenger of blood, he keeps them in mind, 13Show me favour, LORD, 14so I may, in your help exulting, 15The nations are sunk in the pit which they made, 16The LORD is revealed in the judgment he wrought, 17Let the wicked depart to Sheol, 18For the needy will not be always forgotten, 19Arise, LORD; don’t let them triumph: 20Strike them with fear, LORD:
