Christian Standard BibleInternational Standard Version
1I will thank the LORD with all my heart; I will declare all your wondrous works.1I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart, I will declare all your wonderful deeds.
2I will rejoice and boast about you; I will sing about your name, Most High.2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High!
3When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before you.3When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish before you.
4For you have upheld my just cause; you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.4For you have brought about justice for me and my cause; you sit on the throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations: You have destroyed the wicked; you have erased their name forever and ever.5You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked, you wiped out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy has come to eternal ruin. You have uprooted the cities, and the very memory of them has perished.6The enemy has perished, reduced to ruins forever. You uprooted their cities, the very memory of them vanished.
7But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for judgment.7But the LORD sits on his throne forever; his throne is established for judgment.
8And he judges the world with righteousness; he executes judgment on the nations with fairness.8He will judge the world righteously and make just decisions for the people.
9The LORD is a refuge for the persecuted, a refuge in times of trouble.9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress.
10Those who know your name trust in you because you have not abandoned those who seek you, LORD.10Those who know your name will trust you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, LORD.
11Sing to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim his deeds among the nations.11Sing praises to the LORD who dwells in Zion; declare his mighty deeds among the peoples.
12For the one who seeks an accounting for bloodshed remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.12As an avenger of blood, he remembers them; he has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13Be gracious to me, LORD; consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me. Lift me up from the gates of death,13Be gracious to me, LORD, take note of my affliction, because of those who hate me. You snatch me away from the gates of death,
14so that I may declare all your praises. I will rejoice in your salvation within the gates of Daughter Zion.14so I may declare everything for which you should be praised in the gates of the daughter of Zion, so I will rejoice in your deliverance.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they made; their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.15The nations have sunk down into the pit they made, their feet are ensnared in the trap they set.
16The LORD has made himself known; he has executed justice, snaring the wicked by the work of their hands. Higgaion. Selah16The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude
17The wicked will return to Sheol--all the nations that forget God.17The wicked will turn back to where the dead are — all the nations that have forgotten God.
18For the needy will not always be forgotten; the hope of the oppressed will not perish forever.18For he will not always overlook the plight of the poor, nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
19Rise up, LORD! Do not let mere humans prevail; let the nations be judged in your presence.19Rise up, LORD, do not let man prevail! The nations will be judged in your presence.
20Put terror in them, LORD; let the nations know they are only humans. Selah20Make them afraid, LORD, Let the nations know that they are only human. Interlude
