Psalm 9
I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds
To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
1
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
2
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3
When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish beforet your presence.
4
For you have maintained my just cause;
you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5
You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6
The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
their cities you rooted out;
the very memory of them has perished.
7
But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
he has established his throne for justice,
8
and he judges the world with righteousness;
he judges the peoples with uprightness.
9
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10
And those who know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11
Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!
Tell among the peoples his deeds!
12
For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;
he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13
Be gracious to me, O Lord!
See my affliction from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
14
that I may recount all your praises,
that in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may rejoice in your salvation.
15
The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16
The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.
17
The wicked shall return to Sheol,
all the nations that forget God.
18
For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19
Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail;
let the nations be judged before you!
20
Put them in fear, O Lord!
Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
Psalm 9
1 I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
3 When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
7 But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
12 For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14 That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah
