תהילים 9

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

For the chief musician; set to Muth Labben style. A psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart; I will tell about all your marvelous deeds.

2 אֶשְׂמְחָה וְאֶעֶלְצָה בָךְ אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High!

3 בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְיֹאבְדוּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.

4 כִּֽי־עָשִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִסֵּא שׁוֹפֵט צֶֽדֶק׃

For you have defended my just cause; you sit on your throne, a righteous judge!

5 גָּעַרְתָּ גוֹיִם אִבַּדְתָּ רָשָׁע שְׁמָם מָחִיתָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

You rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

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

The enemy crumbled like ruins when you overthrew their cities. All remembrance of them has perished.

7 וַֽיהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב כּוֹנֵן לַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

But Yahweh remains forever; he has established his throne for justice.

8 וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃

He will judge the world with righteousness, and he will execute judgment for the nations with fairness.

9 וִיהִי יְהֹוָה מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃

Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

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

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Yahweh, do not abandon those who seek you.

11 זַמְּרוּ לַיהֹוָה יֹשֵׁב צִיּוֹן הַגִּידוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃

Sing praises to Yahweh, who rules in Zion; tell the nations what he has done.

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

For the God who avenges bloodshed remembers; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.

13 חָֽנְנֵנִי יְהֹוָה רְאֵה עׇנְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָי מְרוֹמְמִי מִשַּׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃

Have mercy on me, Yahweh; see how I am oppressed by those who hate me, you who can snatch me from the gates of death.

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

Oh, that I might proclaim all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation!

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

The nations have sunk down into the pit that they made; their feet are caught in the net that they hid.

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

Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked is ensnared by his own actions. (Selah)

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

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)

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

For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the oppressed be forever dashed.

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

Arise, Yahweh; do not let man win against you; may the nations be judged in your sight.

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

Terrify them, Yahweh; may the nations know that they are mere men. (Selah)
