1 I will praise thee O LORD with my whole heart I will shew forth all thy marvellous works ⚑

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee I will sing praise to thy name O thou most High ⚑

3 When mine enemies are turned back they shall fall and perish at thy presence ⚑

4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause thou satest in the throne judging right ⚑

5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen thou hast destroyed the wicked thou hast put out their name for ever and ever ⚑

6 O thou enemy destructions are come to a perpetual end and thou hast destroyed cities their memorial is perished with them ⚑

7 But the LORD shall endure for ever he hath prepared his throne for judgment ⚑

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness ⚑

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed a refuge in times of trouble ⚑

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee for thou LORD hast not forsaken them that seek thee ⚑

13 Have mercy upon me O LORD consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me thou that liftest me up from the gates of death ⚑

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation ⚑
