←Prev   Psalms 9 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


9:1  For the music director, to the tune of “The Death of the Son,” a psalm of David.
9:2  I will praise Adonai with my whole heart. I will tell about all Your wonders.
9:3  I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, Elyon!
9:4  When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before You.
9:5  For You upheld my right and my cause. You sat upon the throne, judging righteously.
9:6  You rebuked the nations, You destroyed the wicked— blotting out their name forever and ever.
9:7  The enemy is finished, in ruins forever. You overturned their cities— even the memory of them has perished.
9:8  But Adonai reigns forever. He established His throne for judgment.
9:9  He judges the world in righteousness and governs the peoples justly.
9:10  Adonai is a stronghold for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
9:11  Those who know Your Name trust You— for You, Adonai, never have forsaken those who seek You.
9:12  Sing praises to Adonai, who dwells in Zion. Declare His deeds among the peoples.
9:13  He who avenges blood remembers. He will not forget the cry of the afflicted.
9:14  Be compassionate to me, Adonai. See my affliction from those hating me. Lift me up from the gates of death.
9:15  Then I will tell all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion, rejoicing in Your salvation.
9:16  The nations sank into the pit they made. The net they hid caught their own foot.
9:17  Adonai is known for executing judgment. The wicked one is trapped in the work of his own hands. Selah
9:18  The wicked will turn to Sheol, as will all the nations that forget God.
9:19  For the needy will not forever be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
9:20  Arise, Adonai, do not let man triumph. Let the nations be judged before You.
9:21  Strike them with terror, Adonai. Let the nations know they are only human. Selah
