For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning
the secrets of the Son. 9:1 I will give thanks to thee, O Yehovah, with my
whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.
9:2 I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most
High.
9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at
thy presence.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the
throne, that judgest righteousness.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou
hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
9:6 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed
cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
9:7 but Yehovah endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
9:8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations
in uprightness.
9:9 Yehovah also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in
affliction.
9:10 And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Yehovah, hast
not failed them that diligently seek thee.
9:11 Sing praises to Yehovah, who dwells in Zion: declare his dealings
among the nations.
9:12 For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not
forgotten the supplication of the poor.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O Yehovah; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of
mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
9:14 that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion:
I will exult in thy salvation.
9:15 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the
very snare which they hid is their foot taken.
9:16 Yehovah is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the
works of his hands. A song of Pause.
9:17 Let sinners be driven away into Sheol, [even] all the nations that
forget Elohim.
9:18 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy
ones shall not perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O Yehovah, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before
thee.
9:20 Appoint, O Yehovah, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they
are men. Pause. |
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A
Psalm of David. 9:1 I will praise thee, O Yehovah, with my whole heart; I
will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O
thou most High.
9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy
presence.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the
throne judging right.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast
put out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast
destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
9:7 But Yehovah shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for
judgment.
9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
9:9 Yehovah also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of
trouble.
9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou,
Yehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
9:11 Sing praises to Yehovah, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the
people his doings.
9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
9:13 Have mercy upon me, O Yehovah; consider my trouble which I suffer of them
that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
9:14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of
Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which
they hid is their own foot taken.
9:16 Yehovah is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is
snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget
Elohim.
9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor
shall not perish for ever.
9:19 Arise, O Yehovah; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy
sight.
9:20 Put them in fear, O Yehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be
but men. Selah. |
