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