Psalm
Psalms, 9
To the director upon Muth-labʹben.*1 A melody of David.
א [ʼAʹleph]*1
1 I will laud [you], O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will declare all your wonderful works.
2 I will rejoice and exult in you, I will make melody to your name, O Most High.
ב [Behth]
3 When my enemies turn back, They will stumble and perish from before you.
4 For you have executed my judgment and my cause; You have sat on the throne judging with righteousness.
ג [Giʹmel]
5 You have rebuked nations, you have destroyed the wicked one. Their name you have wiped out to time indefinite, even forever.*1
|
6 O you enemy, [your] desolations have come to their perpetual finish, And the cities that you have uprooted. The very mention of them will certainly perish.
ה [Heʼ]
7 As for Jehovah, he will sit to time indefinite, Firmly establishing his throne for judgment itself.
8 And he himself will judge the productive land*1 in righteousness; He will judicially try national groups in uprightness.

ו [Waw]
9 And Jehovah will become a secure height for anyone crushed, A secure height in times of distress.
10 And those knowing your name will trust in you, For you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah.
ז [Zaʹyin]
11 Make melody, YOU people, to Jehovah, who is dwelling in Zion; Tell among the peoples his deeds.
12 For, when looking for bloodshed, he will certainly remember those very ones; He is sure not to forget the outcry of the afflicted ones.
ח [Chehth]
13 Show me favor, O Jehovah; see my affliction by those hating me, O you who are lifting me up from the gates of death,
14 In order that I may declare all your praiseworthy deeds In the gates of the daughter of Zion, That I may be joyful in your salvation.
ט [Tehth]
15 The nations have sunk down into the pit that they have made; In the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16 Jehovah is known by the judgment that he has executed. By the activity of his own hands the wicked one has been ensnared.*1 Hig·gaʹion.*2 Seʹlah.

י [Yohdh]
17 Wicked people will turn back to Sheʹol,*1 Even all the nations forgetting God.*2
|
18 For not always will the poor one be forgotten, Nor will the hope of the meek ones ever perish.
כ [Kaph]
19 Do arise, O Jehovah! Let not mortal man prove superior in strength. Let the nations be judged before your face.
20 Do put fear into them,*1 O Jehovah, That the nations may know that they are but mortal men. Seʹlah.
