Psalms 9
1 I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
2 I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4 For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5 Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
7 but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
8 and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9 Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
10 And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12 For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
14 that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
16 Jehovah has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Jehovah, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
