< Psalms 9 >

1 For the Leader; upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמ֥וּת לַבֵּ֗ן מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֹודֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּ֑י אֲ֝סַפְּרָ֗ה כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃
2 I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
אֶשְׂמְחָ֣ה וְאֶעֶלְצָ֣ה בָ֑ךְ אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֹֽון׃
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;
בְּשׁוּב־אֹויְבַ֥י אָחֹ֑ור יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ וְ֝יֹאבְד֗וּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃
4 For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שֹׁופֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
גָּעַ֣רְתָּ גֹ֭ויִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע שְׁמָ֥ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְעֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
6 O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.
הָֽאֹויֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָבֹ֗ות לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃
7 But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
וַֽ֭יהוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם יֵשֵׁ֑ב כֹּונֵ֖ן לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט כִּסְאֹֽו׃
8 And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
וְה֗וּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק יָדִ֥ין לְ֝אֻמִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרֽ͏ִים׃
9 The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
וִ֘יהִ֤י יְהוָ֣ה מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לַדָּ֑ךְ מִ֝שְׂגָּ֗ב לְעִתֹּ֥ות בַּצָּרָֽה׃
10 And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
וְיִבְטְח֣וּ בְ֭ךָ יֹודְעֵ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־עָזַ֖בְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.
זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה יֹשֵׁ֣ב צִיֹּ֑ון הַגִּ֥ידוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִֽילֹותָֽיו׃
12 For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
כִּֽי־דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אֹותָ֣ם זָכָ֑ר לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח צַעֲקַ֥ת עֲנִיִּים (עֲנָוֽ͏ִים)׃
13 Be gracious unto me, O LORD, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
חָֽנְנֵ֬נִי יְהוָ֗ה רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָ֑י מְ֝רֹומְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃
14 That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיֹּ֑ון אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
טָבְע֣וּ גֹ֭ויִם בְּשַׁ֣חַת עָשׂ֑וּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־ז֥וּ טָ֝מָ֗נוּ נִלְכְּדָ֥ה רַגְלָֽם׃
16 The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
נֹ֤ודַ֨ע ׀ יְהוָה֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בְּפֹ֣עַל כַּ֭פָּיו נֹוקֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֑ע הִגָּיֹ֥ון סֶֽלָה׃
17 The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
יָשׁ֣וּבוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים לִשְׁאֹ֑ולָה כָּל־גֹּ֝ויִ֗ם שְׁכֵחֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לָ֭נֶצַח יִשָּׁכַ֣ח אֶבְיֹ֑ון תִּקְוַ֥ת עֲנָוִים (עֲ֝נִיִּ֗ים) תֹּאבַ֥ד לָעַֽד׃
19 Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־יָעֹ֣ז אֱנֹ֑ושׁ יִשָּׁפְט֥וּ גֹ֝ויִ֗ם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
20 Set terror over them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. (Selah)
שִׁ֘יתָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מֹורָ֗ה לָ֫הֶ֥ם יֵדְע֥וּ גֹויִ֑ם אֱנֹ֖ושׁ הֵ֣מָּה סֶּֽלָה׃
