To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
1I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.[1] (Ps 26,7; Ps 40,5; Ps 96,3; Ps 105,5)2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Ps 5,11; Ps 7,17; Ps 83,18)3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before[3] your presence.4For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. (Ps 29,10; Ps 140,12)5You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. (Pwt 9,14; Pwt 29,20; Ps 68,30; Przyp 10,7)6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.7But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness. (Ps 58,11; Ps 96,10; Ps 96,13; Ps 98,9)9The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (2 Sm 22,3; Ps 10,1; Ps 10,18; Ps 74,21; Przyp 18,10)10And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. (Ps 91,14)11Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds! (Ps 76,2; Ps 77,12; Ps 107,22)12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. (Rdz 9,5; Ps 9,18; Ps 10,12; Ps 10,13; Ps 12,5)13Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, (Job 38,17; Ps 4,1)14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. (1 Sm 2,1; 2 Krl 19,21; Ps 13,5; Ps 20,5; Ps 21,1; Ps 35,9; Iz 37,22)15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. (Job 18,8; Ps 7,15)16The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.[4] Selah (Wj 7,5; Wj 14,4)17The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Rdz 3,19; Job 8,13; Ps 50,22; Iz 51,13)18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. (Przyp 23,18; Przyp 24,14)19Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! (Ps 3,7; Ps 10,18)20Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah (Ps 19,1)
