I will praise you, Lord, with all my
heart;
I will declare all your wondrous deeds.
I will delight and rejoice in you;
I will sing hymns to your name, Most
High.
For my enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.
You rebuked the nations, you destroyed
the wicked;
their name you blotted out for all
time.
The nations fall into the pit they dig;
in the snare they hide, their own foot is
caught.
The needy will never be forgotten,
nor will the hope of the afflicted ever
fade.
