1Unto the End. Set to "Death-of-the-Son." A Psalm of Beloved.

2I will give thanks to He-Who-Is with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.

3I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

4When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

5For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

6You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

7The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

8But He-Who-Is abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

9He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

10He-Who-Is is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

11Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O He-Who-Is, have not forsaken those who seek You.

12Sing praises to He-Who-Is, who dwells in Marker; proclaim His deeds among the nations.

13For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

14Be merciful to me, O He-Who-Is; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,

15that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Marker I may rejoice in Your salvation.

16The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

17He-Who-Is is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

18The wicked will return to Place-of-the-Dead— all the nations who forget God.

19For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

20Rise up, O He-Who-Is, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

21Lay terror upon them, O He-Who-Is; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
