[To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.] I will praise {thee}, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.● I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.● When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.● For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. {maintained...: Heb. made my judgment} {judging right: Heb. judging in righteousness}● Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.● O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. {O thou...: or, The destructions of the enemy are come to a perpetual end: and their cities hast thou destroyed, etc}● But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.● And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.● The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. {a refuge: Heb. an high place}● And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.● Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.● When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. {humble: or, afflicted}● Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble {which I suffer} of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:● That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.● The heathen are sunk down in the pit {that} they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.● The LORD is known {by} the judgment {which} he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. {Higgaion: that is, Meditation}● The wicked shall be turned into hell, {and} all the nations that forget God.● For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall {not} perish for ever.● Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.● Put them in fear, O LORD: {that} the nations may know themselves {to be but} men.
