Psalms [Praises] 9:4-12

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

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

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

⁷But Adonai reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

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

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

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

¹¹Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai , who dwells in Zion Mountain ridge, Marking, and declare among the people what he has done.

¹²For he who avenges blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
