3 When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.

4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.

5 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
You have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; you have blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
6 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.

but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgement.
8 And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
9 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
that I may declare all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in your salvation.
15 I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
16 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

19 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before you.
20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. (Pause)
