King James BibleEnglish Standard Version
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.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 thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence.
4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.4For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.5You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.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 for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.7But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,
8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people 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 they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.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, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.11Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
12When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not 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 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: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 shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
15The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.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 which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.16The 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 alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy 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. Selah.20Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
