Psalms 9

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. On the death of Labben. A psalm of David: I give thanks to ADONAI with all my heart. I will tell about all your wonderful deeds.

2 I will be glad and exult in you. I will sing praise to your name, 'Elyon.

3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.

4 For you upheld my cause as just, sitting on the throne as the righteous judge.

5 You rebuked the nations, destroyed the wicked, blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy is finished, in ruins forever; you destroyed their cities; all memory of them is lost.

7 But ADONAI is enthroned forever; he has set up his throne for judgment.

8 He will judge the world in righteousness; he will judge the peoples fairly.

9 ADONAI is a stronghold for the oppressed, a tower of strength in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you have not abandoned those who seek you, ADONAI.

11 Sing praises to ADONAI, who lives in Tziyon; proclaim his deeds among the peoples.

12 For the avenger of blood remembers them, he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted:

13 "Have mercy on me, ADONAI! See how I suffer from those who hate me; you raise me from the gates of death,

14 so that I can proclaim all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Tziyon and rejoice in this deliverance of yours."

15 The nations have drowned in the pit they dug, caught their own feet in the net they hid.

16 ADONAI made himself known and executed judgment; the wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. (Higgayon; Selah)

17 The wicked will return to Sh'ol, all the nations that forget God.

18 For the poor will not always be forgotten or the hope of the needy perish forever.

19 Arise, ADONAI! Don't let mortals prevail! Let the nations be judged in your presence.

20 Strike them with terror, ADONAI! Let the nations know they are only human. (Selah)

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker on Muthlabben. A Psalm. Of David.> I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.

2 I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.

3 When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.

4 For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.

5 You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.

6 You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.

7 But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.

8 And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.

9 The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;

10 And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.

11 Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.

12 When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;

14 So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.

15 The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.

16 The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

17 The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.

18 For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.

19 Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah.)
