|
1 I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
|
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.
|
|
2 I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
|
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
|
|
3 When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
|
3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
|
|
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
|
4 For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.
|
|
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
|
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
|
|
6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
|
6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
|
|
7 But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
|
7 The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
|
|
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
|
8 He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.
|
|
9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
|
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
|
|
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
|
10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
|
|
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
|
11 Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
|
|
12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
|
12 For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
|
|
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
|
13 O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
|
|
14 That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
|
14 that I may declare your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion and there rejoice in your salvation.
|
|
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
|
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
|
|
16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah
|
16 The LORD is known by his justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. "Higgaion." "Selah"
|
|
17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
|
17 The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God.
|
|
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
|
18 But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
|
|
19 Arise, O Jehovah; Let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
|
19 Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
|
|
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
|
20 Strike them with terror, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. "Selah"
