←Prev   Psalms 9 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


9:1  For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A song of David. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell all the miracles you have done.
9:2  I will be happy because of you. God Most High, I will sing praises to your name.
9:3  My enemies turn back. They are overwhelmed and die because of you.
9:4  You have heard what I complained to you about. You sat on your throne and judged by what was right.
9:5  You spoke strongly against the foreign nations and destroyed the wicked people. You wiped out their names forever and ever.
9:6  The enemy is gone forever. You destroyed their cities. No one even remembers them.
9:7  But the Lord rules forever. He sits on his throne to judge.
9:8  The Lord will judge the world by what is right. He will decide what is fair for the nations.
9:9  The Lord defends those who suffer. He protects them in times of trouble.
9:10  Those who know the Lord trust him. He will not leave those who come to him.
9:11  Sing praises to the Lord who is king on Mount Zion. Tell the nations what he has done.
9:12  He remembers who the murderers are. He will not forget the cries of those who suffer.
9:13  Lord, be kind to me. See how my enemies hurt me. Do not let me go through the gates of death.
9:14  Then, at the gates of Jerusalem, I will praise you. I will rejoice because you saved me.
9:15  The nations have fallen into the pit they dug. Their feet are caught in the nets they laid.
9:16  The Lord has made himself known by his fair decisions. The wicked get trapped by what they do. Higgaion. Selah
9:17  Wicked people will go to the grave. So will all those who forget God.
9:18  Those who have troubles will not be forgotten. The hopes of the poor will not die.
9:19  Lord, rise up and judge the nations. Don’t let humans think they are strong.
9:20  Teach them to fear you, Lord. The nations must learn that they are only human. Selah
