1 ¶ I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy marvellous works.

To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High

I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

3 b ecause my enemies are turned back; they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

4 F or thou hast accomplished my judgment and my cause; thou didst sit in the throne judging according to righteousness.

For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

5 T hou hast reprehended the Gentiles, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and the cities that thou hast destroyed; their memorial is perished with them.

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

7 B ut the LORD shall endure for ever; he has prepared his throne for judgment.

And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.

8 A nd he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall judge the peoples in uprightness.

And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

9 T he LORD also will be a refuge to the humble, a refuge for the time of trouble.

And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

10 A nd those that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, O LORD, hast not forsaken those that seek thee.

They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

11 ¶ Sing unto the LORD, he who dwells in Zion; declare among the people his doings.

Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

12 W hen he makes requirement for blood, he remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the humble.

For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

13 H ave mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from those that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

14 t hat I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy saving health.

So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

15 T he Gentiles are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid their own foot is taken.

Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

16 T he LORD is known by the judgment which he has executed; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion (meditate on this for ever). Selah.

Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

17 T he wicked shall be put into Sheol, all the Gentiles that forget God.

The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

18 F or the humble shall not always be forgotten: the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.

For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

19 A rise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

20 P ut fear into them, O LORD: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they men! Selah.
