Psalm
To the director upon Muth-labʹben.* A melody of David.
א [ʼAʹleph]*
ב [Behth]
4 For you have executed my judgment and my cause;+
You have sat on the throne judging with righteousness.+
ג [Giʹmel]
5 You have rebuked nations,+ you have destroyed the wicked one.+
Their name you have wiped out to time indefinite, even forever.*+
6 O you enemy, [your] desolations have come to their perpetual finish,+
And the cities that you have uprooted.+
The very mention of them will certainly perish.+
ה [Heʼ]
7 As for Jehovah, he will sit to time indefinite,+
Firmly establishing his throne for judgment itself.+
8 And he himself will judge the productive land* in righteousness;+
He will judicially try national groups in uprightness.+
ו [Waw]
9 And Jehovah will become a secure height for anyone crushed,+
A secure height in times of distress.+
10 And those knowing your name will trust in you,+
For you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah.+
ז [Zaʹyin]
12 For, when looking for bloodshed,+ he will certainly remember those very ones;+
He is sure not to forget the outcry of the afflicted ones.+
ח [Chehth]
13 Show me favor, O Jehovah; see my affliction by those hating me,+
O you who are lifting me up from the gates of death,+
14 In order that I may declare all your praiseworthy deeds+
In the gates+ of the daughter of Zion,+
That I may be joyful in your salvation.+
ט [Tehth]
16 Jehovah is known by the judgment that he has executed.+
By the activity of his own hands the wicked one has been ensnared.*+
Hig·gaʹion.* Seʹlah.
י [Yohdh]
כ [Kaph]
