For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;
I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
I will be glad and exult in thee;
I will sing praise to thy name, O thou {Or, Most High; Because mine &c.}Most High.
When mine enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish at thy presence.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
Thou hast rebuked the {Or, heathen}nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
{Or, O thou enemy, desolations are come to a perpetual end}The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;
{Or, And their cities thou hast overthrown.}And the cities which thou hast {Hebrew: plucked up}overthrown,
The very remembrance of them is perished.
But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:
He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
And he will judge the world in righteousness,
He will minister judgment to the {Or, people}peoples in uprightness.
Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,
A high tower in times of trouble;
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;
For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:
Declare among the {Or, peoples}people his doings.
For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;
He forgetteth not the cry of the {Or, meek}poor.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;
Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
That I may show forth all thy praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion
I will rejoice in thy {Or, saving help}salvation.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:
In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:
{Or, He snareth the wicked}The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
[Higgaion. Selah.
The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,
Even all the nations that forget God.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,
Nor the expectation of the {Or, meek}poor perish for ever.
Arise, O Jehovah; Let not man prevail:
Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O Jehovah:
Let the nations know themselves to be but men.
[Selah.
