To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben
, A Psalm
of David
. I will praise
thee , O LORD
, with my whole heart
; I will shew forth
all thy marvellous works
.
I will be glad and rejoice
in thee: I will sing praise
to thy name
, O thou most High
.
When mine enemies are turned
back
, they shall fall
and perish
at thy presence
.
For thou hast maintained my right
and my cause
; thou satest
in the throne
judging
right
.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen
, thou hast destroyed
the wicked
, thou hast put out
their name
for ever
and ever
.
O thou enemy, destructions
are come to a perpetual
end
: and thou hast destroyed
cities
; their memorial
is perished
with them
.
But the LORD shall endure
for ever
: he hath prepared
his throne
for judgment
.
And he shall judge the world
in righteousness
, he shall minister judgment
to the people
in uprightness
.
The LORD also will be a refuge
for the oppressed
, a refuge
in times
of trouble
.
And they that know thy name
will put their trust
in thee: for thou, LORD
, hast not forsaken
them that seek
thee.
Sing praises to the LORD
, which dwelleth
in Zion
: declare
among the people
his doings
.
When he maketh inquisition for blood
, he remembereth
them: he forgetteth
not the cry
of the humble
.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD
; consider
my trouble
which I suffer of them that hate
me, thou that liftest me up
from the gates
of death
:
That I may shew forth all thy praise
in the gates
of the daughter
of Zion
: I will rejoice
in thy salvation
.
The heathen are sunk down
in the pit
that they made
: in the net
which
they hid
is their own foot
taken
.
The LORD is known
by the judgment
which he executeth
: the wicked
is snared
in the work
of his own hands
. Higgaion
. Selah
.
The wicked shall be turned
into hell
, and all the nations
that forget
God
.
For the needy shall not alway
be forgotten
: the expectation
of the poor
shall not perish
for ever
.
Arise, O LORD
; let not man
prevail
: let the heathen
be judged
in thy sight
.
Put them in fear
, O LORD
: that the nations
may know
themselves to be but men
. Selah
.
