Psalms 9
1 For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But Jehovah sitteth [as king] for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction [which I suffer] of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
Have mercy on me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
