Psalms 9
A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.
For the choir director; on ▼▼ I.e. “Death to the Son”Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
1 I will give thanks to the Lord with all bmy heart;I will ctell of all Your ▼
▼ Or miracles
wonders.2I will be glad and eexult in You;
I will fsing praise to Your name, O gMost High.
3When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and hperish before You.
4For You have imaintained ▼
▼ Lit my right and my cause
my just cause;You have sat on the throne ▼
▼ Or a righteous Judge
,
ljudging righteously.5You have mrebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked;
You have nblotted out their name forever and ever.
6 ▼
▼ Or O enemy, desolations are finished forever; And their cities You have plucked up
The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,And You have uprooted the cities;
The very pmemory of them has perished.
7But the qLord ▼
▼ Or sits as king
abides forever;He has established His sthrone for judgment,
8And He will tjudge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
9 ▼
▼ Or Let the Lord also be
The Lord also will be a vstronghold for the oppressed,A stronghold in times of trouble;
10And ▼
▼ Or let those...name put
those who xknow Your name will put their trust in You,For You, O Lord, have not yforsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the Lord, who zdwells in Zion;
aaDeclare among the peoples His deeds.
12For abHe who ▼
▼ I.e. avenges bloodshed
requires blood remembers them;He does not forget adthe cry of the afflicted.
13Be gracious to me, O Lord;
See my affliction from those aewho hate me,
You who aflift me up from the gates of death,
14That I may tell of agall Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may ahrejoice in Your ▼
▼ Or deliverance
salvation.15The nations have sunk down ajin the pit which they have made;
In the aknet which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The Lord has almade Himself known;
He has amexecuted judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. ▼
▼ Perhaps, resounding music or meditation
Higgaion ▼▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude
Selah.17The wicked will ▼
▼ Or turn
,
aqreturn to ▼▼ I.e. the nether world
Sheol,Even all the nations who asforget God.
18For the atneedy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the auhope of the afflicted perish forever.
19 avArise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be awjudged before You.
20Put them axin fear, O Lord;
Let the nations know that they are aybut men. Selah.
