[1] <To the chiefe musition at the death of Labben, a psalme of Dauid.> I wyl prayse God with all myne heart: I wyl recite all thy marueylous workes
[2] I wyll be glad & reioyce in thee: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thy name, O thou most hyest
[3] For that myne enemies are returned backwarde: are fallen and perished at thy presence
[4] For that thou hast geuen iudgement in my ryght and cause: thou that iudgest right, hast sit in the throne of iudgement
[5] Thou hast rebuked the Heathen, and destroyed the vngodly: thou hast abolished their name for euer and euer
[6] O thou enemie thou thoughtest to bryng vs to a perpetuall desolation: and to destroy our cities, so that there shoulde remayne no memory of them
[7] But God wyll sit for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement
[8] For he wyll iudge the world in iustice: and minister iudgement vnto the people in righteousnesse
[9] God also wyll be a refuge for the oppressed: euen a refuge in tyme of trouble
[10] And they that knowe thy name wyll put their trust in thee: for thou O God hast neuer fayled them that seeke thee
[11] Sing psalmes vnto God abiding at Sion: declare his notable actes among the people
[12] For he maketh inquisition of blood: he remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaynt of the poore
[13] Haue mercy on me O God: consider the trouble whiche I suffer of them that hate me, lift me vp from the gates of death
[14] That I may shewe all thy prayses within the gates of the daughter of Sion: and reioyce in thy saluation
[15] The Heathen are sunke downe into the pit that they made: their owne foote is snared in the same net whiche they had layde priuily [for other.
[16] God is knowen by the iudgement that he hath executed: the vngodly is trapped in ye worke of his owne handes, this ought to be considered alwayes. Selah
[17] The wicked shalbe turned vnto hell: and all people that forget God
[18] But the poore shall not alway be forgotten: [neither] shall the hope of the humble afflicted, perishe for euer
[19] Aryse vp O God, let not man preuaile: let the Heathen in thy sight be iudged
[20] Put them in feare O God: that the Heathen may knowe them selues to be but men. Selah
