I Will Give Thanks to the Lord
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.
1I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;I will recount all Your wonders.2I will be glad and rejoice in You;I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies retreat,they stumble and perish before You.4For You have upheld my just cause;You sit on Your throne judging righteously.5You have rebuked the nations;You have destroyed the wicked;You have erased their name forever and ever.6The enemy has come to eternal ruin,and You have uprooted their cities;the very memory of them has vanished.
7But the Lord abides forever;He has established His throne for judgment.8He judges the world with justice;He governs the people with equity.9The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.10Those who know Your name trust in You,for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;proclaim His deeds among the nations.12For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers;He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13Be merciful to me, O Lord;see how my enemies afflict me!Lift me up from the gates of death,14that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter ZionI may rejoice in Your salvation.
15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making;their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.16The Lord is known by the justice He brings;the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.Higgaion Selah 9:16FootnoteHiggaion Selah or quiet interlude is probably a musical or liturgical term.17The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.18For the needy will not always be forgotten;nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
19Rise up, O Lord, do not let man prevail;let the nations be judged in Your presence.20Lay terror upon them, O Lord;let the nations know they are but men.Selah
