Thanks to the judge of the world

¹For the music director. On Muth-labben. A psalm of David. ²I will thank the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all the wonderful things you have done. ³I will be glad and celebrate because of you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High. ⁴When my enemies turn and retreat, they stumble and are destroyed in your presence. ⁵For you have taken up my case and given me justice; you sat on your throne as a judge who does what is right. ⁶You have rebuked the nations and brought the wicked to ruin; you have wiped their name away for all time. ⁷The enemy is finished, left in ruins forever; you have torn up their cities by the roots, and no one remembers them now. ⁸But the LORD remains on his throne forever; it is a throne he has set up to judge from. ⁹He will judge the world rightly and govern the peoples with fairness. ¹⁰The LORD is a fortress on the heights for those who are crushed, a safe height in times of trouble. ¹¹Those who know your name will rely on you, because you do not desert anyone who comes looking for you, LORD. ¹²Make music to the LORD, whose throne is in Zion! Announce his deeds among the peoples. ¹³For the God who calls murderers to account remembers the victims; he has not overlooked the cry of those who suffer. ¹⁴Show me grace, LORD! See how my enemies make me suffer, you who lift me up from the gates of death, ¹⁵so that in the gates of the city of Zion I may tell all the reasons you are praised, and be glad that you saved me. ¹⁶The nations have sunk down into the very pit they dug; the net they hid has snared their own feet. ¹⁷The LORD has made himself known by doing justice: he snares the wicked in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah ¹⁸The wicked will go back down to Sheol, every nation that forgets God. ¹⁹For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the poor be lost forever. ²⁰Rise up, LORD! Do not let mere humans win. Bring the nations to judgment before you. ²¹Fill them with fear, LORD, and let the nations find out they are nothing but human. Selah
