Psalms 9:1-15

¹Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell others about all the wonderful things that you have done.

²I will sing to celebrate what you MTY, who are much greater than all other gods, have done.

³When my enemies realize that you are very powerful, they stumble, and then they are killed.

⁴You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.

⁵You rebuked the people of other nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.

⁶Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them anymore.

⁷But Yahweh rules forever. He judges people while he sits on his throne to judge people,

⁸and he will judge all the people in SYN the world justly; he will judge the people of all nations fairly DOU.

⁹Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; yes, he will be like a shelter for them when they have trouble.

¹⁰Those who know Yahweh MTY trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ◄ for help/to worship him►.

¹¹Yahweh rules from Zion Hill; praise him while you sing to him. Tell the people of all the nations the marvelous things that he has done.

¹²He does not forget to punish those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.

¹³Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die because of these injuries.

¹⁴I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem MTY and to rejoice because you rescued me.

¹⁵It is as though the wicked people of many nations have dug a pit for me to fall into MET, but they have fallen into that same pit. It is as if they spread out a net to catch me MET, but their feet have been caught in that same net.
