Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.To the chief Musician upon Muth–labben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. 2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. 3When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence. 4For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously. 5You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. 6The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished. 7But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; 8He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. 9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble; 10Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. 12For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor. 13Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,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:Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death; 14that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation. 15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion SelahYahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah 17The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. 18For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever. 19Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight. 20Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. SelahPut them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
