1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things 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 be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to 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 My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared. When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence. My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness. 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 have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever. 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 endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten. 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.

8 He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. 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 shelter for the oppressed, a refuge 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 in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. 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 For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer. 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 LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws 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 Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me. 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 fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set. 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.

17 The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God. 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 But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed. 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 mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations! 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 Make them tremble in fear, O LORD. Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude 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.
