Psalms 9:2-19 in English

² I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

³ When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

⁴ For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

⁵ Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁶ The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

⁷ But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

⁸ And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

⁹ Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

¹⁰ And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹ Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

¹² For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

¹⁴ That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

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

¹⁶ Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸ For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

¹⁹ Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

² I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.

³ I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.

⁴ When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.

⁵ For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.

⁶ Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.

⁷ The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,

⁸ but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

⁹ And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.

¹⁰ The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.

¹¹ And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.

¹⁷ The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause.

¹⁹ For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.

² I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

² I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

³ In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

⁴ For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

⁵ Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

⁶ O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

⁷ And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.

⁸ And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

⁹ And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

¹⁰ They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

¹³ Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴ So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

¹⁵ Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

¹⁶ Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

¹⁷ The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

¹⁸ For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

¹⁹ Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
