1Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.
1I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
2I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
7But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
8He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
10And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
10Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
13For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
14Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
14that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
15The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
16The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
17The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
17The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
18The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
21Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
