The Lord is a strong tower to him that is oppressed :
he is a tower of strength in time of need.
All who heed your name will trust in you :
for you have never forsaken those that seek you.
O sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion :
tell among the peoples what great things he has done.
For he that avenges blood has remembered the poor :
he has not forgotten their cry.
The Lord has been merciful toward me,
he saw what I suffered from my foes :
he raised me up again from the gates of death,
That I might tell all your praises in the gates of Zion :
that I might rejoice in your deliverance.
The nations have sunk into the pit they dug for others :
in the very snare they laid is their foot taken;
The Lord has declared himself and upheld the right :
the wicked are trapped in the work of their own hands.
The wicked shall be given over to death :
and all the nations that forget God.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten :
nor shall the hope of the poor perish for ever.
Arise, Lord, let not man prevail :
let the nations be judged before you.
Put them in fear, O Lord :
and let the nations know that they are but men.
