To the choirmaster: On Muth‑Labben. A psalm of David.

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

When my enemies turned back they stumbled and perished before you.

For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sit on the throne, judging in righteousness.

You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The enemy are finished, their cities are laid waste; the memory of them has perished. But the LORD abides forever; he has fixed his throne for judgment,

and he will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with equity.

The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, O LORD.

Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned on Zion; tell among the peoples his deeds.

For he who avenges blood remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

Have mercy on me, O LORD; see my affliction from those who hate me; lift me up from the gates of death,

that I may recount all your praise at the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in your salvation.

The nations have sunk in the pit they made; in the net they hid is their own foot caught.

The LORD is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands—Higgayon. Selah.

The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. But the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Arise, O LORD; do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged before you.

Put them in fear, O LORD; let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.

Why do you stand afar off, O LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

In the pride of the wicked the poor are harried; they are taken in the schemes he devises.

For the wicked boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and curses the LORD.

The wicked, with haughty eyes, says, "There is no God"; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."

His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are far above his sight; he scoffs at all his foes.

He says in his heart, "I shall never be moved; from generation to generation I shall not meet calamity."

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.

He lurks in ambush in villages; in secret he kills the innocent; his eyes watch the helpless.

He lies in wait like a lion in his lair; he lies in wait to seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.

He crouches, he bows down; the poor fall by his strength; the needy are crushed.

He says in his heart, "God has forgotten; he hides his face; he will never see it."

Arise, O LORD; lift up your hand, O God; do not forget the afflicted.

Why does the wicked despise God? He says in his heart, "You will not call me to account."

You have seen it, for you note mischief and vexation to take into your hands; the helpless are committed to you; you have been the helper of the orphan.

Break the arm of the wicked and of the evildoer; seek out his wickedness until you find none.

The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land.

You, O LORD, have heard the desire of the humble; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear

to vindicate the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man, who is of the earth, may no longer terrify.
