I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds

³When my enemies turn back,

they stumble and perish before3 your presence.

⁴For you have kmaintained my just cause;

you have lsat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

⁵You have mrebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;

you have nblotted out their name forever and ever.

⁶The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;

their cities you rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.

⁷But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for justice,

⁸and he ojudges the world with righteousness;

he pjudges the peoples with uprightness.

⁹The Lord is qa stronghold for rthe oppressed,

a stronghold in stimes of trouble.

¹⁰And those who tknow your name put their trust in you,

for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Tell among the peoples his vdeeds!

¹²For he who wavenges blood is mindful of them;

he xdoes not forget the cry of the afflicted.

¹³yBe gracious to me, O Lord!

See my affliction from those who hate me,

O you who lift me up from zthe gates of death,

¹⁴that I may recount all your praises,

that in the gates of athe daughter of Zion

I may brejoice in your salvation.

¹⁵The nations have sunk in cthe pit that they made;

in dthe net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.

¹⁶The Lord has made himself eknown; he has executed judgment;

the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.4 Selah

¹⁷The wicked shall freturn to Sheol,

all the nations that gforget God.

¹⁸For the needy shall not always be forgotten,

and hthe hope of the poor shall not perish forever.

¹⁹iArise, O Lord! Let not jman prevail;

let the nations be judged before you!

²⁰Put them in fear, O Lord!

Let the nations know that they are but jmen! Selah
