:1. For the director, according to ''Muth … </br>:1. For the director, according to ''Muth-labben''.</br>:A psalm by David.</br></br>:2. I will praise YHWH with all my heart;</br>:I will tell about all your wonderful works!</br></br>:3. I will rejoice and exult because of you;</br>:I will sing praise to your name, Most High!</br></br>:4. When my enemies turn back,</br>:they stumble and perish because of your presence,</br></br>:5. because you have accomplished my right and my claim;</br>:you have sat on a throne as a righteous judge.</br></br>:6. You rebuked nations; you destroyed the wicked;</br>:you blotted out their name forever and ever.</br></br>:7. The enemy came to an end in ruins forever,</br>:and you uprooted cities.</br>:The very memory of them perished.</br></br>:8. But YHWH will sit enthroned forever;</br>:he has established his throne for justice,</br></br>:9. and he will judge the world with righteousness;</br>:he will execute justice for the peoples with fairness.</br></br>:10. And may YHWH be a refuge for the oppressed,</br>:a refuge in distressing times.</br></br>:11. And may those who know your name put their trust in you,</br>:because you have not abandoned those who seek you, YHWH.</br></br>:12. Sing praise to YHWH, who sits enthroned in Zion!</br>:Tell about his deeds among the peoples,</br></br>:13. because the one who requires a reckoning for bloodshed has remembered them;</br>:he has not ignored the outcry of the afflicted.</br></br>:14. Have mercy on me, YHWH! See my affliction from those who hate me,</br>:you who lift me up from the gates of death,</br></br>:15. so that I may tell about all your praiseworthy actions</br>:at the gates of daughter Zion,</br>:[and so that] I may be glad because of your salvation!</br></br>:16. Nations sank in a pit which they had made;</br>:their foot was caught in a net which they had hidden.</br></br>:17. YHWH, who has accomplished justice, has made himself known,</br>:ensnaring the wicked by the work of his hands. ''Higgaion Selah''</br></br>:18. The wicked will return to Sheol,</br>:all nations that ignore God.</br></br>:19. For the poor will not be ignored forever;</br>:the hope of the afflicted will [not] perish forever.</br></br>:20. Rise up, YHWH! Let humanity not prevail;</br>:let nations be judged in your presence!</br></br>:21. YHWH, put a fearful thing among them;</br>:let the nations know that they are human. ''Selah''</br>nations know that they are human. ''Selah''
