←Prev   Psalms 9 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


9:1  I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart; I will talk about all your wonderful acts.
9:2  I will celebrate and rejoice in you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High.
9:3  When my enemies turn and retreat, they fall down and die right in front of you
9:4  because you have established justice for me and my claim, because you rule from the throne, establishing justice rightly.
9:5  You’ve denounced the nations, destroyed the wicked. You’ve erased their names for all time.
9:6  Every enemy is wiped out, like something ruined forever. You’ve torn down their cities— even the memory of them is dead.
9:7  But the Lord rules forever! He assumes his throne for the sake of justice.
9:8  He will establish justice in the world rightly; he will judge all people fairly.
9:9  The Lord is a safe place for the oppressed— a safe place in difficult times.
9:10  Those who know your name trust you because you have not abandoned any who seek you, Lord.
9:11  Sing praises to the Lord, who lives in Zion! Proclaim his mighty acts among all people!
9:12  Because the one who avenges bloodshed remembers those who suffer; the Lord hasn’t forgotten their cries for help.
9:13  Have mercy on me, Lord! Just look how I suffer because of those who hate me. But you are the one who brings me back from the very gates of death
9:14  so I can declare all your praises, so I can rejoice in your salvation in the gates of Daughter Zion.
9:15  The nations have fallen into the hole they themselves made! Their feet are caught in the very net they themselves hid!
9:16  The Lord is famous for the justice he has done; it’s his own doing that the wicked are trapped. Higgayon. Selah
9:17  Let the wicked go straight to the grave, the same for every nation that forgets God.
9:18  Because the poor won’t be forgotten forever, the hope of those who suffer won’t be lost for all time.
9:19  Get up, Lord! Don’t let people prevail! Let the nations be judged before you.
9:20  Strike them with fear, Lord. Let the nations know they are only human. Selah
