Psalms 9
1 I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,
2 I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.
4 For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.
5 Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
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 enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.
7 but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
8 and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.
9 Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
10 And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,
12 For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
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
Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who 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.
So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on 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.
Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that 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)
YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
The wicked turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
For the needy is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
19 Arise, O Jehovah, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
