Psalms 9
1 To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' — A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,
2 I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.
3 For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.
6 O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.
7 But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.
8 For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.
9 The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,
12 For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.
16 The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
19 Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
