I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.
I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before You.
For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously.
You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, and You have uprooted the cities;
The very memory of them has perished.
But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment,
And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble;
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
