1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous 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 You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

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

3 W hen my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

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

4 F or You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

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

5 Y ou have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever 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 enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.

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 forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.

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

8 H e shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for 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 for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.

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

10 A nd those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

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

11 S ing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.

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

12 W hen He avenges 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 on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift 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 tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.

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

15 T he nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.

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 He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. 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 turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.

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

18 F or the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

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

19 A rise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

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

20 P ut them in fear, O Lord, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah

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