1For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yehovah with my whole heart; I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O you Most High.
3When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at your presence.
4For you have maintained my right and my cause; You sit in the throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy has come to an end, they are desolate forever; And the cities which you have overthrown, The very remembrance of them has perished.
7But Yehovah sits as king forever: He has prepared his throne for judgment;
8And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9Yehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
10And those who know your name will put their trust in you; For you, Yehovah, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11Sing praises to Yehovah, who dwells in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
12For he who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the poor.
13Have mercy upon me, O Yehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death;
14That I may tell of all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation.
15The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid their own foot is taken.
16Yehovah has made himself known, he has executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah
17The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
19Arise, O Yehovah; do not let man prevail: Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20Put them in fear, O Yehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
