Psalms 9

Common English Bible CEB

1 I will thank you, LORD, with all my heart; I will talk about all your wonderful acts.

2 I will celebrate and rejoice in you; I will sing praises to your name, Most High.

3 When my enemies turn and retreat, they fall down and die right in front of you

4 because you have established justice for me and my claim, because you rule from the throne, establishing justice rightly.

5 You've denounced the nations, destroyed the wicked. You've erased their names for all time.

6 Every enemy is wiped out, like something ruined forever. You've torn down their cities— even the memory of them is dead.

7 But the LORD rules forever! He assumes his throne for the sake of justice.

8 He will establish justice in the world rightly; he will judge all people fairly.

9 The LORD is a safe place for the oppressed— a safe place in difficult times.

10 Those who know your name trust you because you have not abandoned any who seek you, LORD.

11 Sing praises to the LORD, who lives in Zion! Proclaim his mighty acts among all people!

12 Because the one who avenges bloodshed remembers those who suffer; the LORD hasn't forgotten their cries for help.

13 Have mercy on me, LORD! Just look how I suffer because of those who hate me. But you are the one who brings me back from the very gates of death

14 so I can declare all your praises, so I can rejoice in your salvation in the gates of Daughter Zion.

15 The nations have fallen into the hole they themselves made! Their feet are caught in the very net they themselves hid!

16 The LORD is famous for the justice he has done; it's his own doing that the wicked are trapped. Higgayon. Selah

17 Let the wicked go straight to the grave, the same for every nation that forgets God.

18 Because the poor won't be forgotten forever, the hope of those who suffer won't be lost for all time.

19 Get up, LORD! Don't let people prevail! Let the nations be judged before you.

20 Strike them with fear, LORD. Let the nations know they are only human. Selah

2 I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before you.

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 destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities you have rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.

8 He judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with equity.

13 Be gracious to me, O Lord. See what I suffer from those who hate me; you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death,

14 so that I may recount all your praises, and, in the gates of daughter Zion, rejoice in your deliverance.

15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught.

16 The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.+p[Higgaion. Selah]

17 The wicked shall depart to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

19 Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail; let the nations be judged before you.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord; let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
