- 1
- {To the chief Musician.
Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.} I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
- 2
- I will be glad and rejoice in thee;
I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
- 3
- When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
- 4
- For thou hast maintained my right and my cause.
Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
- 5
- Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
- 6
- O enemy!
destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
- 7
- But Jehovah sitteth for ever;
he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
- 8
- And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness;
he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
- 9
- And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
- 10
- And they that know thy name will confide in thee;
for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
- 11
- Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion;
tell among the peoples his doings.
- 12
- For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them;
the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
- 13
- Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah;
consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
- 14
- That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will be joyful in thy salvation.
- 15
- The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made;
in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
- 16
- Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands.
Higgaion. Selah.
- 17
- The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
- 18
- For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway;
the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
- 19
- Arise, Jehovah;
let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.
- 20
- Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
Selah.
