To the Chief Musician."To die for the Son." A Psalm of David.

1I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

3When my enemies have turned back, they shall fall and perish before You,

4For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat upon the throne giving righteous judgment.

5You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, You have uprooted the cities, the memory of them has perished.

7But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8And He shall judge the world in righteousness; He shall govern the people with justice.

9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwells in Zion; declare among the nations His deeds.

12For He Who avenges blood remembers them; He forgets not the cry of the humble.

13Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14So that I may declare all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in Your salvation.

15The nations have sunk down in the grave that they made; their own foot is caught in the net which they hid.

16The LORD has made Himself known. He has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Selah.

17The wicked shall be turned into the grave, and all the nations that forget God,

18For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

20Put them in fear, O LORD, let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.
