Psalms 9:19-20
19 Rise up, Lord! ▼
▼sn Rise up, Lord!…May the nations be judged. The psalm concludes with a petition that the Lord would continue to exercise his justice as he has done in the recent crisis.
Don’t let men be defiant. ▼
▼tn Or “prevail.”
May the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Terrify them, Lord. ▼
▼tn Heb “place, Lord, terror with regard to them.” The Hebrew term מוֹרָה (morah, “terror”) is an alternative form of מוֹרָא (moraʾ; a reading that appears in some mss and finds support in several ancient textual witnesses).
Let the nations know they are mere mortals. ▼
▼tn Heb “let the nations know they [are] man[kind]”; i.e., mere human beings (as opposed to God).
(Selah)
