1 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;

I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds.

2 I will be glad and exult in thee,

I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turned back,

they stumbled and perished before thee.

4 For thou hast maintained my just cause;

thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.

5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;

thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 The enemy have vanished in everlasting ruins;

their cities thou hast rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord sits enthroned for ever,

he has established his throne for judgment;

8 and he judges the world with righteousness,

he judges the peoples with equity.

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 And those who know thy name put their trust in thee,

for thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek thee.
