⁰To the choirmaster, on the young women's voices, 'To die for the son,' a psalm of David.

¹I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart; I will recount all your wonders.

²I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High.

³When my enemies turn backward, they stumble and perish before your face.

⁴For you have carried out my justice and my case; you sat on the throne, judging righteousness.

⁵You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked; their name you wiped out forever and ever.

⁶The enemy are finished, ruins forever; and the cities you uprooted, their memorial has perished, even they.

⁷And Yahweh dwells forever; he has established his throne for justice.

⁸And he will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with evenness.

⁹And may Yahweh be a secure height for the crushed, a secure height in times of distress.

¹⁰And those who know your name will trust in you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, Yahweh.

¹¹Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion; declare his deeds among the peoples.

¹²For the one who seeks bloodshed has remembered them; he has not forgotten the cry of the humble.

¹³Show me favor, Yahweh; see my affliction from those who hate me, O one who raises me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴so that I may recount all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in your deliverance.

¹⁵The nations sank in the pit they made; in the net which they hid, their foot was caught.

¹⁶Yahweh has made himself known; he has done justice; the wicked is ensnared by the work of his palms. Meditation. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked will return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the needy will not be forgotten forever; the hope of the poor will not be lost for ever.

¹⁹Rise, Yahweh! Let humankind not prevail; let the nations be judged before your face.

²⁰Set fear in them, Yahweh; let the nations know that they are human. Selah.
