## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
## For the music director, according to the _alumoth-labben_ style; a psalm of David.
[[#Verse 01.]] I will thank the Lord with all my heart!
I will tell about all your amazing deeds.
[[#Verse 02.]]Â I will be happy and rejoice in you.
I will sing praises to you, O Most High.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â When my enemies turn back,
they trip and are defeated before you.
[[#Verse 04.]]Â For you defended my just cause;
from your throne you pronounced a just decision.
[[#Verse 05.]]Â You terrified the nations with your battle cry.
You destroyed the wicked;
you permanently wiped out all memory of them.
[[#Verse 06.]] The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins.
You destroyed their cities;
all memory of the enemies has perished.
[[#Verse 07.]] But the Lord rules forever;
he reigns in a just manner.
[[#Verse 08.]]Â He judges the world fairly;
he makes just legal decisions for the nations.
[[#Verse 09.]] Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;
he provides safety in times of trouble.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â Your loyal followers trust in you,
for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.
[[#Verse 11.]] Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion.
Tell the nations what he has done.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed;
he did not overlook their cry for help
[[#Verse 13.]]Â when they prayed:
“Have mercy on me, Lord!
See how I am oppressed by those who hate me,
O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!
[[#Verse 14.]] Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;
in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”
[[#Verse 15.]] The nations fell into the pit they had made;
their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.
[[#Verse 16.]] The Lord revealed himself;
he accomplished justice.
The wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
[[#Verse 17.]]Â The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol;
this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,
[[#Verse 18.]]Â for the needy are not permanently ignored,
the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.
[[#Verse 19.]] Rise up, Lord!
Don’t let men be defiant.
May the nations be judged in your presence.
[[#Verse 20.]] Terrify them, Lord.
Let the nations know they are mere mortals. (Selah)
