Psalms 9
1 I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works.
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 you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put 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,
O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for 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 righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
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 upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
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 is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and 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 needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation 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 prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
