Psalm 9

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

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
