New King James VersionNET Bible
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.1For the music director; according to the alumoth-labben style; a psalm of David. I will thank the LORD with all my heart! I will tell about all your amazing deeds!
2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.2I will be happy and rejoice in you! I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One!
3When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.3When my enemies turn back, they trip and are defeated before you.
4For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.4For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision.
5You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.5You terrified the nations with your battle cry; you destroyed the wicked; you permanently wiped out all memory of them.
6O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.6The enemy's cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.
7But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.7But the LORD rules forever; he reigns in a just manner.
8He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.8He judges the world fairly; he makes just legal decisions for the nations.
9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.9Consequently the LORD provides safety for the oppressed; he provides safety 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.10Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, LORD, do not abandon those who seek your help.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.11Sing praises to the LORD, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!
12When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.12For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help
13Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,13when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, LORD! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away 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.14Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance."
15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.15The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.
16The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah16The LORD revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
17The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.17The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.18for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.
19Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.19Rise up, LORD! Don't let men be defiant! May the nations be judged in your presence!
20Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah20Terrify them, LORD! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)
