1. |
For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.
|
|
2. |
I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
|
|
3. |
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, you Most High.
|
|
4. |
When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence.
|
|
5. |
For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
|
|
6. |
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
|
|
7. |
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
|
|
8. |
But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
|
|
9. |
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
|
|
10. |
Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble.
|
|
11. |
Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
|
|
12. |
Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, And declare among the people what he has done.
|
|
13. |
For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
|
|
14. |
Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death;
|
|
15. |
That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation.
|
|
16. |
The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
|
|
17. |
Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
|
|
18. |
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
|
|
19. |
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
|
|
20. |
Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
|
|
21. |
Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
