NHEBME - Psalms - 9

9:1  ALEPH I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

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

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

9:4  For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

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

9:6  The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

9:7  But the Lord reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

9:8  He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9:9  The Lord will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

9:10  Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

9:11  Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

9:12  For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.

9:13  Have mercy on me, Lord. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death;

9:14  that I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.

9:15  The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

9:16  The Lord has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

9:17  The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

9:18  For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

9:19  Arise, Lord! Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

9:20  Put them in fear, Lord. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
