[[To him that excelleth upon Muth Labben.] A Psalm Chapter of David.]
[1] I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speak of all thy marvelous works.
[2] I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High,
[3] For that mine enemies are turned back: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
[4] For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and judgest right.
[5] Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name forever and ever.
[6] O enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memorial is perished with them.
[7] But the Lord shall sit forever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
[8] For he shall judge the world in righteousness, and shall judge the people with equity.
[9] The Lord also will be a refuge for the poor, a refuge in due time, even in affliction.
[10] And they that know thy name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seek thee.
[11] Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: show the people his works.
[12] For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poor.
[13] Have 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,
[14] That I may show all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and rejoice in thy salvation.
[15] The heathen are sunken down in the pit that they made: in the net that they hid, is their foot taken.
[16] The Lord is known by executing judgment: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
[17] The wicked shall turn into hell, and all nations that forget God.
[18] For the poor shall not be alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish forever.
[19] Up Lord: let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
[20] Put them in fear, O Lord, that the heathen may know that they are but men. Selah.
