A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.

To the Chief Musician; on^● Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

I will give thanks and praise the LORD, with ^aall my heart;I will ^btell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.2 I will rejoice and ^aexult in you;I will ^bsing praise to Your name, O ^cMost High.

3 When my enemies turn back,They stumble and ^aperish before You.4 For You have ^amaintained my right and my cause;You have sat on the throne ^bjudging righteously.5 You have ^arebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked and unrepentant;You have ^bwiped out their name forever and ever.6 The enemy has been cut off and has vanished in everlasting ruins,You have uprooted their cities;The very ^amemory of them has perished.

7 But the ^aLORD will remain and sit enthroned forever;He has prepared and established His ^bthrone for judgment. Heb 1:118 And He will ^ajudge the world in righteousness;He will execute judgment for the nations with fairness (equity) . Acts 17:319 The LORD also will be a ^arefuge and a stronghold for the oppressed,A refuge in times of trouble;10 And those who ^aknow Your name who have experienced Your precious mercy will put their confident trust in You,For You, O LORD, have not ^babandoned those who seek You. Ps 42:1

11 Sing praises to the LORD, who ^adwells in Zion;^bDeclare among the peoples His great and wondrous deeds.12 For ^aHe who avenges blood unjustly shed remembers them (His people) ;He does not forget ^bthe cry of the afflicted and abused.13 Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O LORD;See how I am afflicted by those ^awho hate me,You who ^blift me up from the gates of death,14 That I may tell aloud ^aall Your praises,That in the gates of the daughter of Zion (Jerusalem)I may ^brejoice in Your salvation and Your help.15 The nations have sunk down ^ain the pit which they have made;In the ^bnet which they hid, their own foot has been caught.16 The LORD has ^amade Himself known;He ^bexecutes judgment;The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands.Higgaion (meditation) Selah.

17 The wicked will ^aturn to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) ,Even all the nations who ^bforget God.18 For the ^apoor will not always be forgotten,Nor the ^bhope of the burdened perish forever.19 ^aArise, O LORD, do not let man prevail;Let the nations be ^bjudged before You.20 Put them ^ain reverent ¹fear of You, O LORD,So that the nations may know they are ^bbut frail and mortal men.Selah.
