New King James VersionEnglish Standard Version
1To the Chief Musician. To [i]the tune of[/i] “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.1I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence.
4For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.4For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.5You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
7But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.7But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,
8He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.
9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.9The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold 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.10And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.11Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
12When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,13Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
14That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah16The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
17The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.17The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.19Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!
20Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah20Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
