[For the music director; according to the alumoth-labben style; a psalm of David.] I will thank the LORD with all my heart! I will tell about all your amazing deeds! |
2
|
I will be happy and rejoice in you! I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One! |
3
|
When my enemies turn back, they trip and are defeated before you. |
4
|
For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision. |
5
|
You terrified the nations with your battle cry; you destroyed the wicked; you permanently wiped out all memory of them. |
6
|
The enemy's cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished. |
7
|
But the LORD rules forever; he reigns in a just manner. |
8
|
He judges the world fairly; he makes just legal decisions for the nations. |
9
|
Consequently the LORD provides safety for the oppressed; he provides safety in times of trouble. |
10
|
Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, LORD, do not abandon those who seek your help. |
11
|
Sing praises to the LORD, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done! |
12
|
For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help |
13
|
when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, LORD! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death! |
14
|
Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance." |
15
|
The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden. |
16
|
The LORD revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah) |
17
|
The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God, |
18
|
for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed. |
19
|
Rise up, LORD! Don't let men be defiant! May the nations be judged in your presence! |
20
|
Terrify them, LORD! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah) |
