The Psalms (WEB)

Psalm 9

For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.

 ^9:1I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
      I will tell of all your marvelous works.

 ^9:2I will be glad and rejoice in you.
      I will sing praise to your name, you Most High.

 ^9:3When my enemies turn back,
      They stumble and perish in your presence.

 ^9:4For you have maintained my right and my cause.
      You sit on the throne judging righteously.

 ^9:5You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked.
      You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

 ^9:6The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin.
      The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

 ^9:7But Yahweh reigns forever.
      He has prepared his throne for judgment.

 ^9:8He will judge the world in righteousness.
      He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

 ^9:9Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
      A high tower in times of trouble.

 ^9:10Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
      For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

 ^9:11Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion,
      And declare among the people what he has done.

 ^9:12For he who avenges blood remembers them.
      He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.

 ^9:13Have mercy on me, Yahweh.
      See my affliction by those who hate me,

 And lift me up from the gates of death;
      ^9:14That I may show forth all your praise.
      In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation.

 ^9:15The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made;
      In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

 ^9:16Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment.
      The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.

 Meditation. Selah.

 ^9:17The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,
      Even all the nations that forget God.

 ^9:18For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
      Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

 ^9:19Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail.
      Let the nations be judged in your sight.

 ^9:20Put them in fear, Yahweh.
      Let the nations know that they are only men.

 Selah.
