1 Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord ’s Righteous Judgments To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will praise You, O Lord , with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and Ps. 5:11; 104:34 rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, (Ps. 83:18; 92:1) O Most High.
3 When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
5 You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have Prov. 10:7 blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has (Ps. 34:16) perished.
7 Ps. 102:12, 26; Heb. 1:11 But the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 (Ps. 96:13; 98:9; Acts 17:31) He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
9 The Lord also will be a Ps. 32:7; 46:1; 91:2 refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who Ps. 91:14 know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord , have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the Lord , who dwells in Zion! Ps. 66:16; 107:22 Declare His deeds among the people.
12 (Gen. 9:5; Ps. 72:14) When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord ! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will Ps. 13:5; 20:5; 35:9 rejoice in Your salvation.
15 Ps. 7:15, 16 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The Lord is Ex. 7:5 known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Ps. 92:3 Meditation. Selah
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations Job 8:13; Ps. 50:22 that forget God.
18 Ps. 9:12; 12:5 For the needy shall not always be forgotten; (Ps. 62:5; 71:5); Prov. 23:18 The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O Lord , Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord , That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
