Psalm 9
1 To the chief musician upon Muth-labben, a Psalm of David.
2 I will praise Jehovah with all my heart, I will tell all thy marvelous works.
3 I will be glad and exult in thee, I will sing praises to thy name, O most High.
4 When mine enemies turn back, they stumble and perish from before thee.
5 For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest upon the throne, judging righteously.
6 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, thou hast destroyed the wicked, their name hast thou blotted out forever and ever.
7 O enemy, the desolations are completed forever, and thou hast destroyed cities; the remembrance of them hath perished.
8 But Jehovah sitteth forever; he hath established his throne for judgment.
9 And he, even he, will judge the world in righteousness; he will judge nations in righteousness
10 And Jehovah will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress.
11 And they who know thy name will trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those who seek thee, O Jehovah.
12 Sing praises unto Jehovah, who inhabiteth Zion; declare ye among the people his deeds.
13 For he who inquireth after bloodshed hath remembered them; he hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
14 Be merciful unto me, O Jehovah; look upon mine affliction from those who hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death;
15 In order that I may recount all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion, [that] I may rejoice in thy salvation.
16 The Gentiles have sunk into the pit [which] they made; in the very net [which] they hid is their foot taken.
17 Jehovah is become known; he hath executed judgment: in the work of his own hands the wicked [man] is ensnared. Higgayon. Selah.
18 The wicked shall turn back into Sheol all [the] nations [that are] forgetful of God.
19 For not forever shall the poor be forgotten, nor shall the expectation of the humble perish everlastingly.
20 Arise, O Jehovah: let not man become strong; let Gentiles be judged before thy face.
21 Put thou fear into them, O Jehovah; the Gentiles shall know that they are but men. Selah.
