To 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.
02 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will
sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
03 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall
fall and perish at thy presence.
04 For thou hast maintained my right and my
cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
05 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast
destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their
name for ever and ever.
06 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a
perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities;
their memorial is perished with them.
07 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath
prepared his throne for judgment.
08 And he shall judge the world in righteousness,
he shall minister judgment to the people in
uprightness.
09 The Lord also will be a refuge for the
oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their
trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken
them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in
Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he
remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of
the humble.
13 Have 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:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the
gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in
thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they
made: in the net which they hid is their own foot
taken.
16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he
executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of
his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all
the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:
the expectation of the poor shall not perish for
ever.
19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the
heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may
know themselves to be but men. Selah.
