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. 2. I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. 3. When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence. 4. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously. 5. Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast 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 thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished. 7. But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; 8. And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. 9. Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower 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. 11. Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth 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. 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; 14. That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy 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. Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah] 17. The wicked shall be turned back unto 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 Jehovah; Let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight. 20. Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah] (Psalms 9:1-20, ASV)

1. For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works. 2. I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. 3. When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence. 4. For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously. 5. You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. 6. The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. 7. But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. 8. He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. 9. Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble. 10. Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. 11. Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done. 12. For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted. 13. Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death; 14. that I may show all of your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation. 15. The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken. 16. Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah. 17. The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. 18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever. 19. Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight. 20. Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah. (Psalms 9:1-20, WEB)

1. To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. 2. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 3. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 4. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. ^{maintained: Heb. made my judgment judging right: Heb. judging in righteousness} 5. Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. ^{O thou: or, The destructions of the enemy are come to a perpetual end: and their cities hast thou destroyed, etc} 7. But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. ^{a refuge: Heb. an high place} 10. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11. Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 12. When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. ^{humble: or, afflicted} 13. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14. That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 15. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16. The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. ^{Higgaion: that is, Meditation} 17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18. For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 19. Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20. Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. (Psalms 9:1-20, KJV)

1. 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 rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High. 3. In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face. 4. For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness. 5. Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever. 6. O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them. 7. And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne. 8. And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness. 9. And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity. 10. They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah. 11. Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts, 12. For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted. 13. Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death, 14. So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation. 15. Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured. 16. Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah. 17. The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. 18. For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age. 19. Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face. 20. Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah. (Psalms 9:1-20, YLT)
