1. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds.
2. ALEPH. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
2. I will be glad and exult in thee, I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High.
3. Laetabor et exsultabo in te, psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.
3. When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before thee.
4. BETH. Cum convertuntur inimici mei retrorsum, infirmantur et pereunt a facie tua.
4. For thou hast maintained my just cause; thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.
5. Quoniam fecisti iudicium meum et causam meam, sedisti super thronum, qui iudicas iustitiam.
5. Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6. GHIMEL. Increpasti gentes, perdidisti impium; nomen eorum delesti in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi.
6. The enemy have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities thou hast rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
7. Inimici defecerunt, solitudines sempiternae factae sunt; et civitates destruxisti: periit memoria eorum cum ipsis.
7. But the LORD sits enthroned for ever, he has established his throne for judgment;
8. HE. Dominus autem in aeternum sedebit, paravit in iudicium thronum suum;
8. and he judges the world with righteousness, he judges the peoples with equity.
9. et ipse iudicabit orbem terrae in iustitia, iudicabit populos in aequitate.
9. The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10. VAU. Et erit Dominus refugium oppresso, refugium in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
10. And those who know thy name put their trust in thee, for thou, O LORD, hast not forsaken those who seek thee.
11. Et sperent in te, qui noverunt nomen tuum, quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te, Domine.
11. Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
12. ZAIN. Psallite Domino, qui habitat in Sion; annuntiate inter gentes studia eius.
12. For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13. Quoniam requirens sanguinem recordatus est eorum, non est oblitus clamorem pauperum.
13. Be gracious to me, O LORD! Behold what I suffer from those who hate me, O thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
14. HETH. Miserere mei, Domine; vide afflictionem meam de inimicis meis, qui exaltas me de portis mortis,
14. that I may recount all thy praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in thy deliverance.
15. ut annuntiem omnes laudationes tuas in portis filiae Sion, exsultem in salutari tuo.
15. The nations have sunk in the pit which they made; in the net which they hid has their own foot been caught.
16. TETH. Infixae sunt gentes in fovea, quam fecerunt; in laqueo isto, quem absconderunt, comprehensus est pes eorum.
16. The LORD has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. [Higgaion. Selah]
17. Manifestavit se Dominus iudicium faciens; in operibus manuum suarum comprehensus est peccator.
17. The wicked shall depart to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
18. IOD. Convertentur peccatores in infernum, omnes gentes, quae obliviscuntur Deum.
18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19. CAPH. Quoniam non in finem oblivio erit pauperis; exspectatio pauperum non peribit in aeternum.
19. Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before thee!
20. Exsurge, Domine, non confortetur homo; iudicentur gentes in conspectu tuo.
20. Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! [Selah]
21. Constitue, Domine, terrorem super eos; sciant gentes quoniam homines sunt.
