2 - I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
3 - My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
4 - For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 - You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

13 - Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 - that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
15 - The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 - The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
17 - The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.

19 - Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 - Strike them with terror, Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.
