I will praise You with my whole heart; I will tell the wonders You have done. The Lord endures and judges rightly, A refuge for the oppressed when trouble comes. Enemies retreat before Your presence. You maintain the cause that truth defends. Cities fade and proud names are forgotten, But Your throne of justice never ends. You do not abandon those who seek You. You remember every humble cry. You lift the wounded from the gates of death So praise can rise in Zion's light. The nations fall into the pits they fashioned; Their feet are caught within the nets they laid. The needy will not always be forgotten; The hope of the poor will not be swept away. Arise, O Lord; do not let man prevail. Let every nation know that flesh is frail. I will praise You with my whole heart; You are refuge when the day is dark.
