2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings. Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds! Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble. For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
13 Have mercy on me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death: Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation. that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight. Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Arise, LORD, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah Strike them with terror, LORD; let the nations know they are only mortal.
