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.
I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works.
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 you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put 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.
O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for 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 righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that 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 psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
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; 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 declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful 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 that they hid is their own foot 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 is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared 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 the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation 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 prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
