Psalms 9
1 I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
To the Chief Musician. On "Muthlabben." A Melody of David. I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:
2 I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
4 For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
5 Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.
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 enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
7 but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
8 and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
9 Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
10 And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
12 For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
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
Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of 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 recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy 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 nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
16 Jehovah has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. [Resounding music. (Selah)
The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Jehovah, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
