To the chief MusicianuponMuth-labben, A Psalmof David. I will praise thee , O LORD, with my wholeheart; I will show forthallthy marvelous works. I will be gladand rejoicein thee: I will sing praiseto thy name, O thou most High. When mine enemiesare turnedback, they shall falland perishat thy presence. Forthou hast maintainedmy rightand my cause; thou satestin the thronejudgingright. Thou hast rebukedthe heathen, thou hast destroyedthe wicked, thou hast put outtheir nameforeverand ever. O thou enemy, destructionsare come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyedcities; their memorialis perishedwith them. But the LORDshall endureforever: he hath preparedhis thronefor judgment. And heshall judgethe worldin righteousness, he shall minister judgmentto the peoplein uprightness. The LORDalso will bea refugefor the oppressed, a refugein timesof trouble. And they that knowthy namewill put their trustin thee: forthou, LORD, hast notforsakenthem that seekthee. Sing praisesto the LORD, which dwellethin Zion: declareamong the peoplehis doings. Whenhe maketh inquisitionfor blood, he remembereththem: he forgettethnotthe cryof the humble. Have mercyupon me, O LORD; considermy trouble which I suffer of them that hateme, thou that liftest me upfrom the gatesof death: ThatI may show forthallthy praisein the gatesof the daughterof Zion: I will rejoicein thy salvation. The heathenare sunk downin the pit that they made: in the netwhichthey hidis their own foottaken. The LORDis known by the judgment which he executeth: the wickedis snaredin the workof his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. The wickedshall be turnedinto hell, and allthe nationsthat forgetGod. Forthe needyshall notalwaysbe forgotten: the expectationof the poorshall not perishforever. Arise, O LORD; let notmanprevail: let the heathenbe judgedinthy sight. Putthem in fear, O LORD: that the nationsmay knowthemselves to be but men. Selah.
