תְהִלִּים 9

1 לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמ֥וּת לַבֵּ֗ן מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃ אֹודֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּ֑י אֲ֝סַפְּרָ֗ה כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶֽיךָ׃

“To the chief musician upon Muthlabben, a psalm of David.” I will thank the Lord with all my heart: I will relate all thy marvelous deeds.

2 אֶשְׂמְחָ֣ה וְאֶעֶלְצָ֣ה בָ֑ךְ אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֹֽון׃

I will rejoice and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High:

3 בְּשׁוּב־אֹויְבַ֥י אָחֹ֑ור יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ וְ֝יֹאבְד֗וּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

When my enemies are turned backward, [when] they fall and perish at thy presence.

4 כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שֹׁופֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃

For thou hast conducted my dispute and my cause; thou hast sat on the throne as a righteous judge.

5 גָּעַ֣רְתָּ גֹ֭ויִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע שְׁמָ֥ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְעֹולָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

Thou hast rebuked nations, thou hast caused the wicked to perish, their name hast thou blotted out for ever and ever.

6 הָֽאֹויֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָבֹ֗ות לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃

O thou enemy, the ruins are passed away for ever, and the cities which thou hast destroyed, —lost is their memorial, yea, theirs.

7 וַֽ֭יהוָה לְעֹולָ֣ם יֵשֵׁ֑ב כֹּונֵ֖ן לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט כִּסְאֹֽו׃

But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.

8 וְה֗וּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק יָדִ֥ין לְ֝אֻמִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרֽ͏ִים׃

And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.

9 וִ֘יהִ֤י יְהוָ֣ה מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לַדָּ֑ךְ מִ֝שְׂגָּ֗ב לְעִתֹּ֥ות בַּצָּרָֽה׃

The Lord also will be a strong-hold for the oppressed, a strong-hold in times of distress.

10 וְיִבְטְח֣וּ בְ֭ךָ יֹודְעֵ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־עָזַ֖בְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.

11 זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה יֹשֵׁ֣ב צִיֹּ֑ון הַגִּ֥ידוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִֽילֹותָֽיו׃

Sing praises to the Lord, who dwelleth in Zion: announce among the people his deeds.

12 כִּֽי־דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אֹותָ֣ם זָכָ֑ר לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח צַעֲקַ֥ת עֲנִיִּים (עֲנָוֽ͏ִים)׃

For he, that inquireth after acts of blood, hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

13 חָֽנְנֵ֬נִי יְהוָ֗ה רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָ֑י מְ֝רֹומְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; have regard to my affliction [coming] from those that hate me, thou who liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיֹּ֑ון אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

In order that I may relate all thy praises in the gates of the daughters of Zion: I will be glad in thy salvation.

15 טָבְע֣וּ גֹ֭ויִם בְּשַׁ֣חַת עָשׂ֑וּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־ז֥וּ טָ֝מָ֗נוּ נִלְכְּדָ֥ה רַגְלָֽם׃

Sunk are nations in the ditch that they have prepared: in this net which they had laid in secret is their own foot caught.

16 נֹ֤ודַ֨ע ׀ יְהוָה֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בְּפֹ֣עַל כַּ֭פָּיו נֹוקֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֑ע הִגָּיֹ֥ון סֶֽלָה׃

The Lord is made known: he executed justice: through the doing of his own hands is the wicked ensnared. Higgayon, (Selah)

17 יָשׁ֣וּבוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים לִשְׁאֹ֑ולָה כָּל־גֹּ֝ויִ֗ם שְׁכֵחֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ (Sheol h7585)

The wicked shall return into hell, all the nations that are forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)

18 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לָ֭נֶצַח יִשָּׁכַ֣ח אֶבְיֹ֑ון תִּקְוַ֥ת עֲנָוִים (עֲ֝נִיִּ֗ים) תֹּאבַ֥ד לָעַֽד׃

For not everlastingly shall the needy be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־יָעֹ֣ז אֱנֹ֑ושׁ יִשָּׁפְט֥וּ גֹ֝ויִ֗ם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

Arise, O Lord; let not the mortal boast of his strength; let nations be judged before thy face.

20 שִׁ֘יתָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מֹורָ֗ה לָ֫הֶ֥ם יֵדְע֥וּ גֹויִ֑ם אֱנֹ֖ושׁ הֵ֣מָּה סֶּֽלָה׃

Place, O Lord, fear over them: let nations know, that they are but mortals. (Selah)
