To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben [or, concerning death for the son], A Psalm of David.
I will praise thee, O Jehovah, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Gnelion.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name forever
and ever.
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
But Jehovah shall endure forever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. Jehovah also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Sing praises to Jehovah, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Jehovah is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget Elohim.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
9:1, 2 I will praise Jehovah and sing the name of Gnelion; 3-20 my enemies fall before him maintaining my right: he is on the throne of judgment, all evil shall perish, O thou enemy; and the poor and needy shall be delivered.
9 and 10. give a view of the last days and of the faithful then, and show how judgments will become the deliverance of those that believe.
