< 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 him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
2 I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish 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 art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
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 heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
7 But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
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 trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
11 Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
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;
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp 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 shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
15 The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote 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)
The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God. (Sheol )
The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God. (Sheol )
18 For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
20 Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
