To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. 1 I will praise You, oh, Jehovah, with my whole mind; I will show forth all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your Name, Oh You, most High.
3 When my enemies are turned back they shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat in the throne judging right.
5 You have rebuked the heathen, You have destroyed the wicked, You have put out their name to the Age of the Ages.
6 Oh you enemy, destructions have come to enduring destruction: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But Jehovah shall have His abiding place to the Kingdom Age. He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall administer judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 Jehovah also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who know Your Name will put their trust in You; for You, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, Who dwells in Zion: declare among the people His doings.
12 When He makes inquisition for blood, He remembers them: He does not forget the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, oh, Jehovah, consider my trouble which I suffer of them who hate me, You Who lift me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may show forth all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in Your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid their own foot is taken.
16 Jehovah is known by the judgment which He executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the forgetting of the needy shall not endure: the hope of the poor shall not perish for the age.
19 Arise, oh, Jehovah, do not let man prevail: let the heathen be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in great reverence [04172, 04172], oh, Jehovah, that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.




King James Version (KJV)
1 To 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.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
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 shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah.


Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,
2 I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.
3 In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.
4 For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.
5 Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.
6 O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.
7 And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.
8 And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.
9 And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
10 They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.
11 Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,
12 For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
14 So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
15 Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.
16 Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.
17 The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.
18 For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
19 Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
20 Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah.
