Psalms 9

1 I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

1Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.

1I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

2I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

2I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.

2I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

3When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

3I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.

3When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

4When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened, and perish before thy face.

4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

5For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.

5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

6Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

7But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

7The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:

7But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

8And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

8But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:

8And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

9And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.

9Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

10And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.

10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

11And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.

11Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

12For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

12Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:

12For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

13For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.

13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

14That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

14Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.

14That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

15Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah

16I 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.

16Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah

17The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

17The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

17The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

18The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.

18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

19Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

19For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

20Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah

20Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.

20Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
