Psalms 9
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,
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.
2 I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3 In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4 For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5 You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
7 And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
8 And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.
And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9 And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
10 They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12 For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
14 So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.
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.
15 Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.
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.
16 YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20 Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
