1 I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.
1I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
1 I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
2I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.
2I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
3When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.
3When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
4For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.
4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
5You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.
6The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
6 O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
7But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.
7But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
7 But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
8And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.
8And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
8 And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
9The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;
9Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
10And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.
10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.
11Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
11 Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
12When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.
12For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
12 For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
13Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;
13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
13 Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
14So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.
14That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
14 That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.
15The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.
15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
16The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)
16Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah
16 Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.
17The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
17 The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forgetGod.
18For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.
18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
18 For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
