Psalms 9

¹TO THE OVERSEER. SET ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,

²I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.

³In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.

⁴For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging with righteousness.

⁵You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.

⁶The enemy—your destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.

⁷And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.

⁸And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.

⁹And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

¹⁰They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.

¹¹Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,

¹²For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

¹³Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.

¹⁵Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.

¹⁶YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. Meditation. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

¹⁸For the needy is not forgotten forever, Nor the hope of the humble lost for all time.

¹⁹Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.

²⁰Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they are men! Selah.
