Psalms 9
1 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.
To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' — A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.
3 When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.
4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.
5 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.
6 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.
7 But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.
8 And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.
9 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
10 And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.
11 Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,
12 For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
14 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.
So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
15 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.
Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.
16 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
