Psalms 9
1 To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
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.
2 I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
I will rejoice and exult in you. I will sing a psalm to your name, O Most High.
3 For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
For my enemy will be turned back. They will be weakened and perish before your face.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
For you have accomplished my judgment and my cause. You have sat upon the throne that judges justice.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
You have rebuked the Gentiles, and the impious one has perished. You have deleted their name in eternity and for all generations.
6 O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
The spears of the enemy have failed in the end, and their cities, you have destroyed. Their memory has perished with a loud noise.
7 But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
But the Lord remains in eternity. He has prepared his throne in judgment.
8 For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
And he will judge the whole world in equity. He will judge the people in justice.
9 The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
And the Lord has become a refuge for the poor, a helper in opportunity, in tribulation.
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
And may they hope in you, who know your name. For you have not abandoned those seeking you, Lord.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
Sing a psalm to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Announce his study among the Gentiles.
12 For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
Because of those who yearned for their blood, he has remembered them. He has not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
Have mercy on me, Lord. See my humiliation from my enemies.
14 That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
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.
15 The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
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.
16 The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
The Lord will be recognized when making judgments. The sinner has been caught in the works of his own hands. (Pause)
The sinners will be turned into Hell: all the Gentiles who have forgotten God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
For the poor will not be forgotten in the end. The patience of the poor will not perish in the end.
19 Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
Rise up, Lord: do not let man be strengthened. Let the Gentiles be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
O Lord, establish a lawgiver over them, so that the Gentiles may know that they are only men. (Pause)
