Psalms 9

1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.

To the choirmaster alumoth labben a psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with all heart my I will recount all wonders your.

2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].

I will rejoice and I will exult in you I will sing praises to name your O Most High.

3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.

When turn enemies my backwards they stumble and they may perish from before you.

4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.

For you have done justice my and cause my you have sat to a throne judging righteousness.

5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.

You have rebuked nations you have destroyed [the] wicked name their you have wiped out for ever and ever.

6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.

The enemy - they have come to an end ruins to perpetuity and cities you have plucked up it has perished memory their they.

7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,

And Yahweh for ever he remains he has established for judgment throne his.

8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].

And he he will judge [the] world with righteousness he will judge [the] nations with uprightness.

9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.

And he may be Yahweh a refuge for the oppressed a refuge to times of trouble.

10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).

So they may trust in you [those who] know name your for not you have forsaken [those who] seek you O Yahweh.

11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.

Sing praises to Yahweh [who] dwells Zion declare among the peoples deeds his.

12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.

For [one who] seeks blood them he has remembered not he has forgotten [the] cry of distress of (humble [people]. *QK)

13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].

Show favor to me O Yahweh see affliction my from [those who] hate me O [one who] raises me from [the] gates of death.

14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.

So that I may recount all praises your in [the] gates of [the] daughter of Zion I will rejoice in deliverance your.

15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.

They have sunk nations in [the] pit [which] they made in [the] net which they had hidden it has been caught foot their.

16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.

He has made himself known - Yahweh justice he has done by [the] work of hands his [he is] striking down [the] wicked Higgaion (Selah)

17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)

They will return wicked [people] to Sheol all [the] nations forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)

18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.

For not to perpetuity he will be forgotten [the] needy [the] hope of (afflicted [people] *QK) it will be lost for ever.

19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.

Arise! O Yahweh may not it prevail humankind let them be judged [the] nations on presence your.

20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.

Appoint! O Yahweh - terror for them may they know [the] nations [are] human being[s] they (Selah)
