1 For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
2 I will be glad and exult in thee;
3 When mine enemies turn back,
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;
7 But Jehovah sitteth
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness,
9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:
12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;
14 That I may show forth all thy praise.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:
16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:
17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,
19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah:
