New Living TranslationBerean Study Bible
1I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.
2I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared.3When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.
4For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness.4For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever.5You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.
6The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.6The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
7But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne.7But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
8He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.8He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
9The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.10Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
12For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.12For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.13Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
14Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.14that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16The LORD is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude16The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah
17The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.17The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.
18But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.18For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
19Arise, O LORD! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations!19Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.
20Make them tremble in fear, O LORD. Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude20Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
