Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Righteous Judgments
To the Chief Musician. To The Tune of 1“Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.
1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and arejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, bO Most High.
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
5 You have rebuked the 2nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have cblotted out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has dperished.
7 eBut the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 fHe shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
9 The Lord also will be a grefuge 3for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who hknow Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
iDeclare His deeds among the people.
12 jWhen He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the 4humble.
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of 5the daughter of Zion.
I will krejoice in Your salvation.
15 lThe 6nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The Lord is mknown by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
Selah
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the 8nations othat forget God.
18 pFor the needy shall not always be forgotten;
qThe expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
Do not let man prevail;
Let the 9nations be judged in Your sight.
That the 1nations may know themselves to be but men.
Selah
A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph Over Evil
1 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride 1persecutes the poor;
aLet them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked bboasts of his heart’s desire;
2He cblesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
3God is in none of his dthoughts.
5 His ways 4are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 eHe has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
fI shall never be in adversity.”
7 gHis mouth is full of cursing and hdeceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So 5he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his 6strength.
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
O God, ilift up Your hand!
Do not forget the jhumble.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”
14 But You have kseen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless lcommits 7himself to You;
mYou are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16 nThe Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.
17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
18 To 8do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may 9oppress no more.
Faith in the Lord’s Righteousness
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 In athe Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2 For look! bThe wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot 1secretly at the upright in heart.
3 cIf the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s dthrone is in heaven;
eHis eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
5 The Lord ftests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
gShall be 2the portion of their cup.
He hloves righteousness;
3His countenance beholds the upright.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
