תהילים 9

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמוּת לַבֵּן מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אוֹדֶה יְהוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

“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 אֶשְׂמְחָה וְאֶעֶלְצָה בָךְ אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

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

3 בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְיֹאבְדוּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

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

4 כִּֽי־עָשִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִסֵּא שׁוֹפֵט צֶֽדֶק׃

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

5 גָּעַרְתָּ גוֹיִם אִבַּדְתָּ רָשָׁע שְׁמָם מָחִיתָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

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

6 הָֽאוֹיֵב ׀ תַּמּוּ חֳרָבוֹת לָנֶצַח וְעָרִים נָתַשְׁתָּ אָבַד זִכְרָם 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 וַֽיהוָה לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב כּוֹנֵן לַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

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

8 וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרֽ͏ִים׃

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

9 וִיהִי יְהוָה מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃

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

10 וְיִבְטְחוּ בְךָ יוֹדְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי לֹֽא־עָזַבְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁיךָ 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 זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה יֹשֵׁב צִיּוֹן הַגִּידוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃

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

12 כִּֽי־דֹרֵשׁ דָּמִים אוֹתָם זָכָר לֹֽא־שָׁכַח צַעֲקַת עניים עֲנָוֽ͏ִים׃

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

13 חָֽנְנֵנִי יְהוָה רְאֵה עָנְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָי מְרוֹמְמִי מִשַּׁעֲרֵי 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 לְמַעַן אֲסַפְּרָה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּתֶיךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵי בַת־צִיּוֹן אָגִילָה 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 טָבְעוּ גוֹיִם בְּשַׁחַת עָשׂוּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־זוּ טָמָנוּ נִלְכְּדָה 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 נוֹדַע ׀ יְהוָה מִשְׁפָּט עָשָׂה בְּפֹעַל כַּפָּיו נוֹקֵשׁ רָשָׁע הִגָּיוֹן סֶֽלָה׃

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

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

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

18 כִּי לֹא לָנֶצַח יִשָּׁכַח אֶבְיוֹן תִּקְוַת ענוים עֲנִיִּים תֹּאבַד לָעַֽד׃

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

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

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

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

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