Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according to the alumoth-labben <04192> style; a psalm <04210> of David <01732>. I will thank <03034> the Lord <03068> with all <03605> my heart <03820>! I will tell <05608> about all <03605> your amazing deeds <06381>!
2I will be happy <08055> and rejoice <05970> in you! I will sing praises <02167> to you, O sovereign <05945> One <08034>!
3When my enemies <0341> turn <07725> back <0268>, they trip <03782> and are defeated <06> before <06440> you.
4For <03588> you defended <06213> my just <04941> cause <01779>; from your throne <03678> you pronounced <03427> a just <06664> decision <08199>.
5You terrified <01605> the nations <01471> with your battle cry; you destroyed <06> the wicked <07563>; you permanently <05703> <05769> wiped out <04229> all memory of them <08034>.
6The enemy’s <0341> cities have been reduced <08552> to permanent <05331> ruins <02723>; you destroyed <05428> their cities <05892>; all memory <02143> of the enemies <01992> has perished <06>.
7But the Lord <03068> rules <03427> forever <05769>; he reigns <03559> in a just manner <04941>.
8He judges <08199> the world <08398> fairly <06664>; he makes <01777> just legal decisions <04339> for the nations <03816>.
9Consequently <01961> the Lord <03068> provides safety <04869> for the oppressed <01790>; he provides safety <04869> in times <06256> of trouble <06869>.
10Your loyal followers trust <0982> in you <08034> <03045>, for <03588> you, Lord <03068>, do not <03808> abandon <05800> those who seek <01875> your help.
11Sing praises <02167> to the Lord <03068>, who rules <03427> in Zion <06726>! Tell <05046> the nations <05971> what he has done <05949>!
12For <03588> the one who takes revenge <01875> against murderers took notice <02142> of the oppressed <06041>; he did not <03808> overlook <07911> their cry <06818> for help
13when they prayed: “Have mercy <02603> on me, Lord <03068>! See <07200> how I am oppressed <06040> by those who hate <08130> me, O one who can snatch <07311> me away <07311> from the gates <08179> of death <04194>!
14Then <04616> I will tell <05608> about all <03605> your praiseworthy acts <08416>; in the gates <08179> of Daughter <01323> Zion <06726> I will rejoice <01523> because of your deliverance <03444>.”
15The nations <01471> fell <02883> into the pit <07845> they had made <06213>; their feet <07272> were caught <03920> in the net <07568> they had hidden <02934>.
16The Lord <03068> revealed <03045> himself; he accomplished <06213> justice <04941>; the wicked <07563> were ensnared <05367> by their own actions <03709> <06467>. (Higgaion <01902>. Selah <05542>)
17The wicked <07563> are turned back <07725> and sent to Sheol <07585>; this is the destiny of all <03605> the nations <01471> that ignore <07913> God <0430>,
18for <03588> the needy <034> are not <03808> permanently <05331> ignored <07911>, the hopes <08615> of the oppressed <06035> are not forever <05703> dashed <06>.
19Rise up <06965>, Lord <03069>! Don’t <0408> let men <0376> be defiant <05810>! May the nations <01471> be judged <08199> in <05921> your presence <06440>!
20Terrify <04172> <07896> them, Lord <03069>! Let the nations <01471> know <03045> they <01992> are mere mortals! (Selah <05542>)
