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 OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,
2 I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;
In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.
4 For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously:
For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond.
You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, —even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.
7 But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne;
And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.
And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.
9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:
And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
10 Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
11 Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings.
Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,
12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
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;
Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift 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.
So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.
15 The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot.
Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.
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)
YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
The wicked turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, —[nor, ] the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
For the needy is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee.
Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.
20 Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, —Let the nations know [that] they are men. (Selah)
Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
