1 To 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.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to
thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and
perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest
in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge
in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:
he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have 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:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter
of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they
made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he
executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all
the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation
of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be
judged in thy sight.
