""For the music leader // According to Muth - Labbeh // A Psalm of David"
I will thank you, LORD, with all my heart. I will talk about all your wonderful acts.
I will celebrate and rejoice in you. I will sing praises to your name, Most High.
When my enemies turn and retreat, they fall down and die right in front of you,
Because you have established justice or me and my claim, because you rule from the throne establishing justice rightly.
You've denounced the nations, destroyed the wicked. You've erased their names for all time.
Every enemy is wiped out, like something ruined forever.
You've torn down their cities -- even the memory of them is dead.
But the LORD rules forever!
He assumes the throne for the sake of justice. He will establish justice in the world rightly, he will judge all people fairly.
The LORD is a safe place for the oppressed -=-a safe place in difficult times.
Those who know your name trust you because you have not abandoned any who seek you, LORD.
Sing praises to the LORD, who lives in Zion!
Proclaim his mighty acts among all people!
Because the one who avenged bloodshed remembers those who suffer, the LORD hasn't forgotten their cries for help.
Have mercy on me, LORD!
Just look how I suffer because of those who hate me. But you are the one who brings me back from the very gates of Daughter Zion.
The nations have fallen into the very hole they themselves made! Their feet are caught in the very net they themselves hid!
The LORD is famous for the justice he has done; it's his own doing that the wicked are trapped. Higgayon / Selah.
Let the wicked go straight to the grave; the same for every nation that forgets God.
Because the poor won't be forgotten forever, the hope of those who suffer won't be lost for all time.
Get up, LORD! Don't let people prevail! Let the nations be judged before you.
Strike them with fear, LORD; let the nations know they are only human. Selah.
