New Living Translation NLT
1 <Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.> (9-2) I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
1
I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.
2 (9-3) I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
2
I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.
3 (9-4) When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened, and perish before thy face.
3
My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared.
4 (9-5) For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
4
For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness.
5 (9-6) Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
5
You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever.
6 (9-7) The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:
6
The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.
7 (9-8) But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
7
But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne.
8 (9-9) And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
8
He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.
9 (9-10) And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
9
The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 (9-11) And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
10
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.
11 (9-12) Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
11
Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.
12 (9-13) For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
12
For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.
13 (9-14) Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
13
LORD, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.
14 (9-15) Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
14
Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.
15 (9-16) I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
15
The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.
16 (9-17) The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
16
The LORD is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude
17 (9-18) The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
17
The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.
18 (9-19) For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
18
But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.
19 (9-20) Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
19
Arise, O LORD ! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations!
20 (9-21) Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
20
Make them tremble in fear, O LORD . Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude
