To the director: Use the Alamoth of Ben. A song of David. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell about the wonderful things you have done. |
2
|
You make me happy, so I will rejoice in you. God Most High, I praise your name. |
3
|
My enemies turned to run from you, but they fell and were destroyed. |
4
|
You listened to me from your throne like a good judge, and you decided that I was right. |
5
|
You told the nations how wrong they were. You destroyed those evil people. You erased their names from our memory forever and ever. |
6
|
The enemy is finished! You destroyed their cities. There is nothing left to remind us of them. |
7
|
The Lord set up his throne to bring justice, and he will rule forever. |
8
|
He judges everyone on earth fairly. He judges all nations honestly. |
9
|
Many people are suffering— crushed by the weight of their troubles. But the Lord is a refuge for them, a safe place they can run to. |
10
|
Lord, those who know your name come to you for protection. And when they come, you do not leave them without help. |
11
|
Sing praises to the Lord, who sits as King in Zion. Tell the nations about the great things he has done. |
12
|
He punishes murderers and remembers those who are in need. When suffering people cry for help, he does not ignore them. |
13
|
I said this prayer: "Lord, be kind to me. See how my enemies are hurting me. Save me from the 'gates of death.' |
14
|
Then, at the gates of Jerusalem, I can sing praises to you. I will be so happy because you saved me." |
15
|
Those other nations have fallen into the pit they dug to catch others. They have been caught in their own trap. |
16
|
The Lord showed that he judges fairly. The wicked were caught by what they did to hurt others. Higgayon Selah |
17
|
The wicked will go to the place of death, as will all the nations that forget God. |
18
|
It may seem that those who are poor and needy have been forgotten, but God will not forget them. He will not leave them without hope. |
19
|
Lord, get up and judge the nations. Don't let anyone think they can win against you. |
20
|
Teach them a lesson. Let them know they are only human. Selah |
