King James BibleNET Bible
1To 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.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 thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.2I will be happy and rejoice in you! I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One!
3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.3When my enemies turn back, they trip and are defeated before you.
4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.4For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision.
5Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.5You terrified the nations with your battle cry; you destroyed the wicked; you permanently wiped out all memory of them.
6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.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 for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.7But the LORD rules forever; he reigns in a just manner.
8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people 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 they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.10Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, LORD, do not abandon those who seek your help.
11Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.11Sing praises to the LORD, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!
12When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not 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 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: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 shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.14Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance."
15The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.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 which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.16The 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 alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.18for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.
19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy 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. Selah.20Terrify them, LORD! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)
