(A psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune “The Death of the Son.”)

Sing Praises to the Lord

I will praise you, Lord,
    with all my heart
and tell about the wonders
    you have worked.
God Most High, I will rejoice;
I will celebrate and sing
    because of you.

When my enemies face you,
they run away and stumble
    and are destroyed.
