1 [For the choir director; according to [muth labben]; a psalm by David.] I will give [you] thanks, O LORD, with all my heart. I will tell about all the miracles you have done. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David. I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will find joy and be glad about you. I will make music to praise your name, O Most High. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
3 When my enemies retreat, they will stumble and die in your presence. When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence. My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
4 You have defended my just cause: You sat down on your throne as a fair judge. For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 You condemned nations. You destroyed wicked people. You wiped out their names forever and ever. You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The enemy is finished-in ruins forever. You have uprooted their cities. Even the memory of them has faded. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
7 Yet, the LORD is enthroned forever. He has set up his throne for judgment. But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice, The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
8 He alone judges the world with righteousness. He judges [its] people fairly. and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.
9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust you, O LORD, because you have never deserted those who seek your help. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11 Make music to praise the LORD, who is enthroned in Zion. Announce to the nations what he has done. Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds! Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12 The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people. He has never forgotten their cries. For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
13 Have pity on me, O LORD. Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me. You take me away from the gates of death Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 so that I may recite your praises one by one in the gates of Zion and find joy in your salvation. that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations have sunk into the pit they have made. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden [to trap others]. The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment he has carried out. The wicked person is trapped by the work of his own hands. [Higgaion Selah] The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah The LORD is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
17 Wicked people, all the nations who forget God, will return to the grave. The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.
18 Needy people will not always be forgotten. Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
19 Arise, O LORD. Do not let mortals gain any power. Let the nations be judged in your presence. Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! Arise, LORD, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror, O LORD. Let the nations know that they are [only] mortal. [Selah] Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah Strike them with terror, LORD; let the nations know they are only mortal.
