תהילים 9

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מוּת לַבֵּן מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה בְּכׇל־לִבִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כׇּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

For the leader;’almuth labben. A psalm of David. With all my heart I will praise the Lord, all your wonders I will rehearse.

2 אֶשְׂמְחָה וְאֶעֶלְצָה בָךְ אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

I will rejoice and exult in you, singing praise to your name, Most High;

3 בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְיֹאבְדוּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

because backward my foes were turned, they stumbled and perished before you.

4 כִּֽי־עָשִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִסֵּא שׁוֹפֵט צֶֽדֶק׃

My right and my claim you have upheld, you did sit on the throne as a fair judge,

5 גָּעַרְתָּ גוֹיִם אִבַּדְתָּ רָשָׁע שְׁמָם מָחִיתָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

rebuking the nations, destroying the wicked, and blotting their name out forever and ever.

6 הָֽאוֹיֵב ׀ תַּמּוּ חֳרָבוֹת לָנֶצַח וְעָרִים נָתַשְׁתָּ אָבַד זִכְרָם הֵֽמָּה׃

The foe is vanished, ruined forever, their cities destroyed, their memory perished.

7 וַֽיהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב כּוֹנֵן לַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment,

8 וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃

ruling the world with justice, and judging the nations with equity.

9 וִיהִי יְהֹוָה מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃

So the Lord proves a haven to the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.

10 וְיִבְטְחוּ בְךָ יוֹדְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי לֹֽא־עָזַבְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁיךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃

Well may they trust you who know your name, for those who seek you, you never abandon.

11 זַמְּרוּ לַיהֹוָה יֹשֵׁב צִיּוֹן הַגִּידוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃

Sing praise to the Lord, whose home is in Zion, declare his deeds among the nations.

12 כִּֽי־דֹרֵשׁ דָּמִים אוֹתָם זָכָר לֹֽא־שָׁכַח צַעֲקַת (עניים) [עֲנָוִֽים]׃

As avenger of blood, he keeps them in mind, he does not forget the cry of the wretched.

13 חָֽנְנֵנִי יְהֹוָה רְאֵה עׇנְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָי מְרוֹמְמִי מִשַּׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃

Show me favour, Lord, see how my foes afflict me, lift me up from the gates of death;

14 לְמַעַן אֲסַפְּרָה כׇּֽל־תְּהִלָּתֶיךָ בְּשַׁעֲרֵי בַת־צִיּוֹן אָגִילָה בִּישֽׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

so I may, in your help exulting, tell forth your praise at the gates of Zion.

15 טָבְעוּ גוֹיִם בְּשַׁחַת עָשׂוּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־זוּ טָמָנוּ נִלְכְּדָה רַגְלָֽם׃

The nations are sunk in the pit which they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot is entangled.

16 נוֹדַע ׀ יְהֹוָה מִשְׁפָּט עָשָׂה בְּפֹעַל כַּפָּיו נוֹקֵשׁ רָשָׁע הִגָּיוֹן סֶֽלָה׃

The Lord is revealed in the judgment he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. (Selah)

17 יָשׁוּבוּ רְשָׁעִים לִשְׁאוֹלָה כׇּל־גּוֹיִם שְׁכֵחֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ (Sheol h7585)

Let the wicked depart to Sheol, all the nations that live forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)

18 כִּי לֹא לָנֶצַח יִשָּׁכַח אֶבְיוֹן תִּקְוַת (ענוים) [עֲנִיִּים] תֹּאבַד לָעַֽד׃

For the needy will not be always forgotten, nor the hope of the helpless be lost forever.

19 קוּמָה יְהֹוָה אַל־יָעֹז אֱנוֹשׁ יִשָּׁפְטוּ גוֹיִם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

Arise, Lord; don’t let them triumph: before your face let the nations be judged.

20 שִׁיתָה יְהֹוָה ׀ מוֹרָה לָהֶם יֵדְעוּ גוֹיִם אֱנוֹשׁ הֵמָּה סֶּֽלָה׃

Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. (Selah)
