I will shew forth all THY marvellous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in THEE:
I will sing praise to THY name, O thou most High.
*****
When mine enemies are turned back,
they shall fall and perish at THY presence.
For THOU hast maintained my right and my cause;
THOU satest in the throne judging right.
*****
But the Lord shall endure for ever:
HE hath prepared HIS throne for judgment. And HE shall judge the world in righteousness,
HE shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
*****
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
Refuge:
- shelter or protection from danger, trouble, distress, unhappiness
- state of safety
- shelter from pursuit
And they that know THY NAME will put their trust in THEE:
for THOU, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek THEE.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion:
declare among the people HIS doings.
*****
HE forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord;
consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me,
THOU that liftest me up from the gates of death:
That I may shew forth all THY praise
in the gates of the daughter of Zion:
I will rejoice in THY salvation.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made:
in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
The Lord is known by the judgment which HE executeth:
the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
*****
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail:
let the heathen be judged in THY sight.
Put them in fear, O Lord:
that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
