| 1To 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. | 1I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart, I will declare all your wonderful deeds. |
| 2I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. | 2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High! |
| 3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. | 3When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish before you. |
| 4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. | 4For you have brought about justice for me and my cause; you sit on the throne judging righteously. |
| 5Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. | 5You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked, you wiped out their name forever and ever. |
| 6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. | 6The enemy has perished, reduced to ruins forever. You uprooted their cities, the very memory of them vanished. |
| 7But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. | 7But the LORD sits on his throne forever; his throne is established for judgment. |
| 8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. | 8He will judge the world righteously and make just decisions for the people. |
| 9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. | 9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress. |
| 10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. | 10Those who know your name will trust you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, LORD. |
| 11Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. | 11Sing praises to the LORD who dwells in Zion; declare his mighty deeds among the peoples. |
| 12When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. | 12As an avenger of blood, he remembers them; he has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted. |
| 13Have 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: | 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, |
| 14That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. | 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. |

| 16The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. | 16The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude |
| 17The wicked shall be turned into hell, and 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 shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. | 18For he will not always overlook the plight of the poor, nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever. |
| 19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. | 19Rise up, LORD, do not let man prevail! The nations will be judged in your presence. |
| 20Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. | 20Make them afraid, LORD, Let the nations know that they are only human. Interlude |
