(A psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune "The Death of the Son.") I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart and tell about the wonders you have worked. (2) God Most High, I will rejoice; I will celebrate and sing because of you. (3) When my enemies face you, they run away and stumble and are destroyed. (4) You take your seat as judge, and your fair decisions prove that I was in the right. (5) You warn the nations and destroy evil people; you wipe out their names forever and ever.
(6) Our enemies are destroyed completely for all time. Their cities are torn down, and they will never be remembered again. (7) You rule forever, LORD (יהוה), and you are on your throne, ready for judgment. (8) You judge the world fairly and treat all nations with justice.
