Psalms 9
1 To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous 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 rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath 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 sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
8 And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that 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 psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12 For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting 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 declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful 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 that they hid is their own foot 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 is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared 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 the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, 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, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
