1For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all your wonderful works.
2I will be glad and exult in you: I will sing to your name, O you Most High.
3When my enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at your presence.
4For you have maintained my cause and my right; you sat on the throne, that judge righteousness.
5You have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; you have blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
6The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and you have destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
7but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
