Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous 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 exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
3 When mine enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging righteously.
For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast blotted 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 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; and the cities which thou hast overthrown, their very memorial is perished.
O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
7 But the LORD sitteth [as king] for ever: he hath 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 peoples 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 high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
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 dwelleth 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 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
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; behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest 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 shew forth all thy praise: in the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.
That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
15 The nations 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 hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higaion, 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 alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor 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 nations be judged in thy sight.
Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
