Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the conclusion. On the mysteries of the Son. A Psalm by David. I Will praise thee, Lord, with my whole heart, I will relate all thy Wondrous works. ² Let me be gladdened and rejoice in thee; to thy name I will sing, O thou Most High. ³ When this enemy of mine is turned back, at thy presence they shall faint and perish; ⁴ because thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou the righteous judge hast sat on the throne; ⁵ thou hast rebuked nations, and the wicked one is destroyed. Thou hast blotted out their Name forever and ever. ⁶ The enemy's swords have utterly failed, and thou hast completely destroyed cities, the memorial of them with their din is gone. ⁷ But the Lord will endure forever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment; ⁸ he will judge the World with righteousness; with rectitude he will judge tribes. ⁹ The Lord was a refuge for the distressed, a seasonable helper in adversity. ¹⁰ Let them who know thy name confide in thee; For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them who seek thee. ¹¹ Sing to the Lord who dwelleth in Sion; among the nations proclaim his designs, ¹² for in making inquisition for blood, he had them in remembrance; he forgot not the prayer of the distressed. ¹³ Have mercy upon me, O Lord! Behold my affliction, because of mine enemies, O thou who raisest me up from the gates of death, ¹⁴ that I may proclaim all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion. Let me exult with joy for thy salvation. ¹⁵ The nations were completely entrapped by the destruction which they contrived; in the gin which they hid, their foot is caught. ¹⁶ The Lord is known by executing judgments; by the works of his own hands the sinner is taken. ¹⁷ [17-20 A responsive Ode.] Let the sinners be turned back to the mansion of the dead; all the nations who forget God. ¹⁸ For the poor shall not be quite forgotten; the expectation of the needy shall never perish. ¹⁹ Arise, Lord, let not man prevail; let nations be judged in thy presence. ²⁰ Appoint, O Lord, a legislator over them; let nations know that they are men.
