Psalms 9
1 Unto the end. For the secrets of the Son. A Psalm of David. I will confess to you, Lord, with my whole heart. I will recount all your wonders.
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 rejoice and exult in you. I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3 For my enemy will be turned back. They will be weakened and perish before your face.
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4 For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause. You have sat upon the throne that judges justice.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5 You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The spears of the enemy have failed in the end, and their cities, you have destroyed. Their memory has perished with a loud noise.
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 the Lord remains in eternity. He has prepared his throne in judgment.
But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
8 And he will judge the whole world in equity. He will judge the people in justice.
And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9 And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor, a helper in opportunity, in tribulation.
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
10 And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.
And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12 Because of those who yearned for their blood, he has remembered them. He has not forgotten 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 on me, Lord. See my humiliation from my enemies.
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
14 You lift me up from the gates of death, so that I may announce all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
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 I will exult in your salvation. The Gentiles have become trapped in the ruin that they made. Their foot has been caught in the same snare that they themselves had hidden.
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 The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands. (Pause)
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 the poor will not be forgotten in the end. The patience of the poor will not perish in the end.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20 O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men. (Pause)
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
