Psalms 9
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works.
To the Chief Musician. On "Muthlabben." A Melody of David. I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings:
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
5 You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.
6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;
14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. [Resounding music. (Selah)
The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
