←Prev   Psalms 9 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


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