Psalm 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)

New Living Translation NLT

1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.

2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

3 My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared.

4 For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness.

5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever.

6 The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

7 But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne.

8 He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.

9 The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.

11 Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.

12 For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.

13 LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.

14 Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.

16 The LORD is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude

17 The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.

18 But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

19 Arise, O LORD ! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations!

20 Make them tremble in fear, O LORD . Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude
