1. I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
2. I will be glad and exult in you;I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3. When my enemies turn back,they stumble and perish before your presence.
4. For you have maintained my just cause;you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5. You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;their cities you rooted out;the very memory of them has perished.
7. But the Lord sits enthroned forever;he has established his throne for justice,
8. and he judges the world with righteousness;he judges the peoples with uprightness.
