Psalms 9
1 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:
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.
2 I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:
4 For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
7 But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
10 Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
13 Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death;
Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.
15 The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
16 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)
Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.
19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
