Psalms 9

Good News Translation GNT

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

2 I will sing with joy because of you. I will sing praise to you, Almighty God.

3 My enemies turn back when you appear; they fall down and die.

4 You are fair and honest in your judgments, and you have judged in my favor.

5 You have condemned the heathen and destroyed the wicked; they will be remembered no more.

6 Our enemies are finished forever; you have destroyed their cities, and they are completely forgotten.

7 But the Lord is king forever; he has set up his throne for judgment.

8 He rules the world with righteousness; he judges the nations with justice.

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a place of safety in times of trouble.

10 Those who know you, Lord, will trust you; you do not abandon anyone who comes to you.

11 Sing praise to the Lord, who rules in Zion! Tell every nation what he has done!

12 God remembers those who suffer; he does not forget their cry, and he punishes those who wrong them.

13 Be merciful to me, O Lord! See the sufferings my enemies cause me! Rescue me from death, O Lord,

14 that I may stand before the people of Jerusalem and tell them all the things for which I praise you. I will rejoice because you saved me.

15 The heathen have dug a pit and fallen in; they have been caught in their own trap.

16 The Lord has revealed himself by his righteous judgments, and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

17 Death is the destiny of all the wicked, of all those who reject God.

18 The needy will not always be neglected; the hope of the poor will not be crushed forever.

19 Come, Lord! Do not let anyone defy you! Bring the heathen before you and pronounce judgment on them.

20 Make them afraid, O Lord; make them know that they are only mortal beings.

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds.

2 I will be glad and exult in thee, I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High.

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

4 For thou hast maintained my just cause; thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.

5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

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

7 But the LORD sits enthroned for ever, he has established his throne for judgment;

8 and he judges the world with righteousness, he judges the peoples with equity.

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

10 And those who know thy name put their trust in thee, for thou, O LORD, hast not forsaken those who seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells 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! Behold what I suffer from those who hate me, O thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

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

15 The nations have sunk in the pit which they made; in the net which 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. [Higgaion. Selah]

17 The wicked shall depart 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 for ever.

19 Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before thee!

20 Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! [Selah]
