I Will Give Thanks to the LORD

1To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.+ 2I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.+ 3When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:+ 4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.+ 5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.+ 6O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.+ 7But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.+ 8And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.+ 9And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.+ 10And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.+ 11Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.+ 12For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.+ 13Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:+ 14That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.+ 15The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.+ 16Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.+ 17The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forgetGod.+ 18For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.+ 19Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.+ 20Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.+
