9:1 |
<> I will give thanks to Yahweh 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 Yahweh 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 |
Yahweh 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, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. |
9:11 |
Sing praises to Yahweh, 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, Yahweh. 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 |
Yahweh 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, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight. |
9:20 |
Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah. |
