9:1  For the choir director; according to muth labben; a psalm by David. I will give you thanks, O Yahweh, with all my heart. I will tell about all the miracles you have done.
9:2  I will find joy and be glad about you. I will make music to praise your name, O Elyon.
9:3  When my enemies retreat, they will stumble and die in your presence.
9:4  You have defended my just cause: You sat down on your throne as a fair judge.
9:5  You condemned nations. You destroyed wicked people. You wiped out their names forever and ever.
9:6  The enemy is finished—in ruins forever. You have uprooted their cities. Even the memory of them has faded.
9:7  Yet, Yahweh is enthroned forever. He has set up his throne for judgment.
9:8  He alone judges the world with righteousness. He judges its people fairly.
9:9  Yahweh is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
9:10  Those who know your name trust you, O Yahweh, because you have never deserted those who seek your help.
9:11  Make music to praise Yahweh, who is enthroned in Zion. Announce to the nations what he has done.
9:12  The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people. He has never forgotten their cries.
9:13  Have pity on me, O Yahweh. Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me. You take me away from the gates of death
9:14  so that I may recite your praises one by one in the gates of Zion and find joy in your salvation.
9:15  The nations have sunk into the pit they have made. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden to trap others.
9:16  Yahweh is known by the judgment he has carried out. The wicked person is trapped by the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah
9:17  Wicked people, all the nations who forget Elohim, will return to the grave.
9:18  Needy people will not always be forgotten. Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever.
9:19  Arise, O Yahweh. Do not let mortals gain any power. Let the nations be judged in your presence.
9:20  Strike them with terror, O Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only mortal. Selah
