2I will be glad and aexult in You;I will bsing praise to Your name, O cMost High.

ב Beth

3When my enemies turn back,They stumble and aperish before You.4For You have amaintained my 1justice and my cause;You have sat on the throne 2,bjudging righteously.

ג Gimel

5You have arebuked the nations, You have made the wicked perish;You have bblotted out their name forever and ever.

ה He

61The enemy has come to an end in perpetual 2ruins,And You have uprooted the cities;The very amemory of them has perished.

ו Vav

8And He will ajudge the world in righteousness;He will render justice for the peoples with equity.

10And 1those who aknow Your name will put their trust in You,For You, O Yahweh, have not bforsaken those who seek You.

ז Zayin

11Sing praises to Yahweh, who aabides in Zion;bDeclare among the peoples His acts.12For aHe who 1requires blood remembers them;He does not forget bthe cry of the afflicted.

ח Heth

13Be gracious to me, O Yahweh;See my affliction from those awho hate me,You who blift me up from the gates of death,14That I may recount aall Your praises,That in the gates of the daughter of ZionI may brejoice in Your 1salvation.

ט Teth

15The nations have sunk down ain the pit which they have made;In the bnet which they hid, their own foot has been caught.16Yahweh has amade Himself known;He has bexecuted judgment.In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. 1Higgaion 2 Selah.

י Yodh

17The wicked will 1,areturn to Sheol,Even all the nations who bforget God.

כ Kaph

18For the aneedy will not always be forgotten,Nor the bhope of the afflicted perish forever.19aArise, O Yahweh, do not let man prevail;Let the nations be bjudged before You.20Put them ain fear, O Yahweh;Let the nations know that they are bbut men. Selah.
