PSALM 9
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben,
A Psalm of David.
1Lord, thee I'll praise with all my heart,
thy wonders all proclaim.
2In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy,
and sing unto thy name.
3When back my foes were turn'd, they fell,
and perish'd at thy sight:
4For thou maintain'dst my right and cause;
on throne sat'st judging right.
5The heathen thou rebuked hast,
the wicked overthrown;
Thou hast put out their names, that they
may never more be known.
6O en'my! now destructions have
an end perpetual:
Thou cities raz'd; perish'd with them
is their memorial.
7God shall endure for aye; he doth
for judgment set his throne;
8In righteousness to judge the world,
justice to give each one.
9God also will a refuge be
for those that are oppress'd;
A refuge will he be in times
of trouble to distress'd.
10And they that know thy name, in thee
their confidence will place:
For thou hast not forsaken them
that truly seek thy face.
11O sing ye praises to the Lord,
that dwells in Sion hill;
And all the nations among
his deeds record ye still.
12When he enquireth after blood,
he then rememb'reth them:
The humble folk he not forgets
that call upon his name.
13Lord, pity me; behold the grief
which I from foes sustain;
Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death
dost raise me up again;
14That I, in Sion's daughters' gates,
may all thy praise advance;
And that I may rejoice always
in thy deliverance.
15The heathen are sunk in the pit
which they themselves prepar'd;
And in the net which they have hid
their own feet fast are snar'd.
16The Lord is by the judgment known
which he himself hath wrought:
The sinners' hands do make the snares
wherewith themselves are caught.
17They who are wicked into hell
each one shall turned be;
And all the nations that forget
to seek the Lord most high.
18For they that needy are shall not
forgotten be alway;
The expectation of the poor
shall not be lost for aye.
19Arise, Lord, let not man prevail;
judge heathen in thy sight:
20That they may know themselves but men,
the nations, Lord, affright.

Tehillim (Psalms) 9
9
1Aleph I praise You, O יהוה, with all my heart; I declare all Your wonders.
2I rejoice and exult in You; I sing praise to Your Name, O Most High.
3Bĕt When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.
4For You executed my right and my cause, You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
5Gimel You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wrong, You have wiped out their name forever and ever.
6Hĕ The enemy is no more – ruins everlasting! And You have uprooted the cities; Even their remembrance has perished.
7But יהוה abides forever, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
8And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in straightness.
9Waw And יהוה is a refuge for the crushed one, A refuge in times of distress.
10And those who know Your Name trust in You, For You have not forsaken those who seek You, O יהוה.
11Zayin Sing praises to יהוה, who dwells in Tsiyon! Declare His deeds among the peoples.
12For He remembers the seekers of bloodshed, He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13Ḥet Show favour to me, O יהוה! See my affliction by those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14So that I declare all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Tsiyon. I rejoice in Your deliverance.
15Tet The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16יהוה has made Himself known, He has done right-ruling; The wrong is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
17Yod The wrong return to She’ol, All the nations that forget Elohim.
18Kaph For the needy is not always forgotten; Neither the expectancy of the poor lost forever.
19Arise, O יהוה, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before Your face.
20Put them in fear, O יהוה, Let the nations know they are but men. Selah.
