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:
I WILL praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth 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 praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
When mine enemies are turned back, 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 satest in the throne judging 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 ever and ever.
6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
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 put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, 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 praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
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;
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest 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 shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice 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 heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which 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)
The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and 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 shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen 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, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
