LEB - Psalms - 9

9:1  I will thank Yahweh with all my heart. I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing the praise of your name, O Most High.

9:3  When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish because of your presence.

9:4  For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne judging correctly.

9:5  You have rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked. Their name you have blotted out forever and ever.

9:6  The enemies are destroyed in ruins forever, and you have uprooted their cities; their very memory has perished.

9:7  But Yahweh sits enthroned forever. He has established his throne for judgment.

9:8  And he will judge the world with righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.

9:9  And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of distress.

9:10  And those who know your name will trust in you, for you do not forsake those who seek you, O Yahweh.

9:11  Sing praises to Yahweh who sits enthroned in Zion. Tell his deeds among the peoples,

9:12  for he who ⌞avenges bloodshed⌟ remembers them. He does not forget the distressed cry of the afflicted.

9:13  Be gracious to me, O Yahweh. See my suffering from those who hate me, you who lift me up from the gates of death,

9:14  so that I may tell of all your praises. In the gates of the daughter of Zion let me rejoice in your salvation.

9:15  The nations have fallen in the pit that they made; their foot is caught in the net that they hid.

9:16  Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah

9:17  The wicked shall turn back to Sheol, all the nations forgetting God,

9:18  for the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall never perish.

9:19  Rise up, O Yahweh, let not humans prevail; let the nations be judged before you.

9:20  O Yahweh, put them in fear. Let the nations know they are merely human. Selah
