\d A psalm written by David for the choir director, to be sung using the tune 'The death of my son'
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being.
|
|
\q2 I will tell others about all the wonderful things that you have done.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 I will sing to celebrate what you, who are much greater than all other gods, have done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 When my enemies realize that you are very powerful,
|
|
\q2 they stumble, and then they are killed.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 You sit on your throne to judge people,
|
|
\q2 and you have judged fairly concerning me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 You rebuked the people of other nations,
|
|
\q2 and you have gotten rid of the wicked people;
|
|
\q2 you have erased their names forever.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Our enemies have disappeared;
|
|
\q2 you destroyed their cities,
|
|
\q2 and people do not even remember them anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 But Yahweh rules forever.
|
|
\q2 He judges people while he sits on his throne.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 He will judge all the people in the world justly;
|
|
\q2 he will be fair when he judges the people of every nation.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed;
|
|
\q2 he will be like a shelter for them when they have trouble.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Those who know Yahweh trust in him;
|
|
\q2 he never abandons those who come to him for help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Yahweh rules on Mount Zion;
|
|
\q2 praise him and sing to him.
|
|
\q1 Tell the people of all the nations the marvelous things that he has done.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 He does not forget to punish those who have murdered others;
|
|
\q2 he will punish them,
|
|
\q2 and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Yahweh, act mercifully toward me!
|
|
\q1 Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me.
|
|
\q2 Do not allow me to die because of these injuries.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem
|
|
\q2 and to rejoice because you rescued me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 It is as though the wicked people of many nations have dug a pit for me to fall into,
|
|
\q2 but they have fallen into that same pit.
|
|
\q1 It is as though they have spread out a net to catch me,
|
|
\q2 but their feet have been caught in that same net.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Because of what you have done, people know that you make justice happen;
|
|
\q2 you allow wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Wicked people will all die and be buried in their graves;
|
|
\q2 their spirits will go to be with all those who have forgotten about you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 But you will not forget those who are needy;
|
|
\q2 what they confidently expect will never be in vain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Yahweh, do not allow our enemies to conquer us
|
|
\q just because they are strong;
|
|
\q You see what the people do and you bring justice to them all.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 Yahweh, teach them that they must be afraid of you and honor you.
|
|
\q2 Cause them to know that they are only human beings.
