NLT Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New Living TranslationNew American Standard Bible 1995
1I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.1For the choir director; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.
2I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.2I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared.3When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.
4For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness.4For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever.5You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.6The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished.
7But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne.7But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment,
8He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.8And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
9The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.9The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;
10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His deeds.
12For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.12For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.13Be gracious to me, O LORD; See my affliction from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.14That I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The LORD is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude16The LORD has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. Higgaion Selah.
17The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.17The wicked will return to Sheol, Even all the nations who forget God.
18But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.18For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
19Arise, O LORD! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations!19Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before You.
20Make them tremble in fear, O LORD. Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude20Put them in fear, O LORD; Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.
