9:1  For the music director, according to Muth-labben. A psalm of David. I will thank Yahweh with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing the praise of your name, O Most High.
9:3  When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish because of your presence.
9:4  For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne judging correctly.
9:5  You have rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked. Their name you have blotted out forever and ever.
9:6  The enemies are destroyed in ruins forever, and you have uprooted their cities; their very memory has perished.
9:7  But Yahweh sits enthroned forever. He has established his throne for judgment.
9:8  And he will judge the world with righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
9:9  And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of distress.
9:10  And those who know your name will trust in you, for you do not forsake those who seek you, O Yahweh.
9:11  Sing praises to Yahweh who sits enthroned in Zion. Tell his deeds among the peoples,
9:12  for he who avenges bloodshed remembers them. He does not forget the distressed cry of the afflicted.
9:13  Be gracious to me, O Yahweh. See my suffering from those who hate me, you who lift me up from the gates of death,
9:14  so that I may tell of all your praises. In the gates of the daughter of Zion let me rejoice in your salvation.
9:15  The nations have fallen in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net that they hid.
9:16  Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah
9:17  The wicked shall turn back to Sheol, all the nations forgetting God,
9:18  for the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall never perish.
9:19  Rise up, O Yahweh, let not humans prevail; let the nations be judged before you.
9:20  O Yahweh, put them in fear. Let the nations know they are merely human. Selah
