Ps 9
0 Psalm 9
For the Chief Musician; set to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.
1
I will give thanks to YHWH with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous
works.
2
I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O you Most High.
3
When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at your presence.
4
For you have maintained my right and my cause; You sit in the throne judging righteously.
5
You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted
out their name for ever and ever.
6
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which you
have overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
7
But YHWH sits [as king] 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.
9
YHWH also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
10
And they that know your name will put their trust in you; For you, YHWH, have not
forsaken them that seek you.
11
Sing praises to YHWH, who dwells in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
12
For he who makes inquisition for blood remembers them; He forgets not the cry of the
poor.
13
Have mercy upon me, O YHWH; Behold my affliction [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 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.
16
YHWH has made himself known, he has executed judgment: The wicked is snared
in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
17
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
18
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish
for ever.
19
Arise, O YHWH; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20
Put them in fear, O YHWH: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah
