| 1 | To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.'—A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders, |
| 2 | I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High. |
| 3 | In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face. |
| 4 | For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness. |
| 5 | Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever. |
| 6 | O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them. |
| 7 | And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne. |
| 8 | And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness. |
| 9 | And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity. |
| 10 | They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah. |
| 11 | Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts, |
| 12 | For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted. |
| 13 | Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death, |
| 14 | So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation. |
| 15 | Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured. |
| 16 | Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah. |
| 17 | The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. |
| 18 | For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age. |
| 19 | Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face. |
| 20 | Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah. |
