< תהילים 9 >

לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמוּת לַבֵּן מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ אוֹדֶה יְהוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ 1
“For the leader of the music; to be sung in the manner or with the voice of maidens. To the Benites, or to Ben. A psalm of David.” I will praise thee, O LORD! with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
אֶשְׂמְחָה וְאֶעֶלְצָה בָךְ אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ 2
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High!
בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַי אָחוֹר יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְיֹאבְדוּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃ 3
All my enemies are turned back; They fall and perish at thy presence.
כִּֽי־עָשִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִסֵּא שׁוֹפֵט צֶֽדֶק׃ 4
For thou dost defend my right and my cause; Thou sittest upon the throne, a righteous judge.
גָּעַרְתָּ גוֹיִם אִבַּדְתָּ רָשָׁע שְׁמָם מָחִיתָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃ 5
Thou rebukest the nations; Thou destroyest the wicked; Thou blottest out their name for evermore!
הָֽאוֹיֵב ׀ תַּמּוּ חֳרָבוֹת לָנֶצַח וְעָרִים נָתַשְׁתָּ אָבַד זִכְרָם הֵֽמָּה׃ 6
The enemy is fallen, —a desolation for ever! Thou, O LORD! hast destroyed their cities; Their memory itself hath perished!
וַֽיהוָה לְעוֹלָם יֵשֵׁב כּוֹנֵן לַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃ 7
The LORD reigneth for ever; He hath prepared his throne for judgment.
וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרֽ͏ִים׃ 8
He judgeth the world in righteousness; He administereth judgment to the nations with uprightness.
וִיהִי יְהוָה מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃ 9
Yea, the LORD is a refuge for the oppressed; A refuge in times of trouble.
וְיִבְטְחוּ בְךָ יוֹדְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי לֹֽא־עָזַבְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁיךָ יְהוָֽה׃ 10
They who know thy name put their trust in thee; For thou, O LORD! forsakest not them that seek thee!
זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה יֹשֵׁב צִיּוֹן הַגִּידוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃ 11
Sing praises to the LORD, who reigneth in Zion; Declare his doings among the people!
כִּֽי־דֹרֵשׁ דָּמִים אוֹתָם זָכָר לֹֽא־שָׁכַח צַעֲקַת עניים עֲנָוֽ͏ִים׃ 12
As the avenger of blood, he remembereth the distressed; He forgetteth not their complaint.
חָֽנְנֵנִי יְהוָה רְאֵה עָנְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָי מְרוֹמְמִי מִשַּׁעֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ 13
“Have pity upon me, [[said I, ]] O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; Lift me up from the gates of death:
לְמַעַן אֲסַפְּרָה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּתֶיךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵי בַת־צִיּוֹן אָגִילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃ 14
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee.”
טָבְעוּ גוֹיִם בְּשַׁחַת עָשׂוּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־זוּ טָמָנוּ נִלְכְּדָה רַגְלָֽם׃ 15
The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken.
נוֹדַע ׀ יְהוָה מִשְׁפָּט עָשָׂה בְּפֹעַל כַּפָּיו נוֹקֵשׁ רָשָׁע הִגָּיוֹן סֶֽלָה׃ 16
Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. [[Stringed instruments. (Pause)
יָשׁוּבוּ רְשָׁעִים לִשְׁאוֹלָה כָּל־גּוֹיִם שְׁכֵחֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃ (Sheol h7585) 17
The wicked shall be driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God. (Sheol h7585)
כִּי לֹא לָנֶצַח יִשָּׁכַח אֶבְיוֹן תִּקְוַת ענוים עֲנִיִּים תֹּאבַד לָעַֽד׃ 18
For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted shall not perish for ever.
קוּמָה יְהוָה אַל־יָעֹז אֱנוֹשׁ יִשָּׁפְטוּ גוֹיִם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ 19
Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; Let the nations be judged by thee!
שִׁיתָה יְהוָה ׀ מוֹרָה לָהֶם יֵדְעוּ גוֹיִם אֱנוֹשׁ הֵמָּה סֶּֽלָה׃ 20
Strike terror into them, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! (Pause)
