King James BibleInternational 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 all my heart, I will declare all 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 praises to your name, Most High!
3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.3When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish before you.
4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.4For you have brought about justice for me and my cause; you sit on the throne judging righteously.
5Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.5You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked, you wiped 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 has perished, reduced to ruins forever. You uprooted their cities, the very memory of them vanished.
7But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.7But the LORD sits on his throne forever; his throne is established for judgment.
8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.8He will judge the world righteously and make just decisions for the people.
9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress.
10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.10Those who know your name will trust you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, LORD.
11Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.11Sing praises to the LORD who dwells in Zion; declare his mighty deeds among the peoples.
12When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.12As an avenger of blood, he remembers them; he has not forgotten 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, LORD, take note of my affliction, because of those who hate me. You 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.14so I may declare everything for which you should be praised in the gates of the daughter of Zion, so I will rejoice in 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 have sunk down into the pit they made, their feet are ensnared in the trap they set.
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, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude
17The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.17The wicked will turn back to where the dead are — all the nations that have forgotten God.
18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.18For he will not always overlook the plight of the poor, nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.19Rise up, LORD, do not let man prevail! The nations will be judged in your presence.
20Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.20Make them afraid, LORD, Let the nations know that they are only human. Interlude
