Psalms 9

לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמ֥וּת לַבֵּ֗ן מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃

אוֹדֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּ֑י אֲ֝סַפְּרָ֗ה כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.

To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

אֶשְׂמְחָ֣ה וְאֶעֶלְצָ֣ה בָ֑ךְ אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃

I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

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

בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַ֥י אָח֑וֹר יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ וְ֝יֹאבְד֗וּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃

For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

גָּעַ֣רְתָּ ג֭וֹיִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע שְׁמָ֥ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְעוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃

You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

הָֽאוֹיֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָב֗וֹת לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃

The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

וַֽ֭יהוָה לְעוֹלָ֣ם יֵשֵׁ֑ב כּוֹנֵ֖ן לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃

But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

וְה֗וּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק יָדִ֥ין לְ֝אֻמִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃

He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

וִ֘יהִ֤י יְהוָ֣ה מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לַדָּ֑ךְ מִ֝שְׂגָּ֗ב לְעִתּ֥וֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

וְיִבְטְח֣וּ בְ֭ךָ יוֹדְעֵ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־עָזַ֖בְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃

Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה יֹשֵׁ֣ב צִיּ֑וֹן הַגִּ֥ידוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

כִּֽי־דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אוֹתָ֣ם זָכָ֑ר לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח צַעֲקַ֥ת (עניים) [עֲנָוִֽים] ׃

For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

חָֽנְנֵ֬נִי יְהוָ֗ה רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָ֑י מְ֝רוֹמְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃

Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיּ֑וֹן אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

טָבְע֣וּ ג֭וֹיִם בְּשַׁ֣חַת עָשׂ֑וּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־ז֥וּ טָ֝מָ֗נוּ נִלְכְּדָ֥ה רַגְלָֽם׃

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

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

נ֤וֹדַ֨ע ׀ יְהוָה֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בְּפֹ֣עַל כַּ֭פָּיו נוֹקֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֑ע הִגָּי֥וֹן סֶֽלָה׃

The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

יָשׁ֣וּבוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים לִשְׁא֑וֹלָה כָּל־גּ֝וֹיִ֗ם שְׁכֵחֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃

The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לָ֭נֶצַח יִשָּׁכַ֣ח אֶבְי֑וֹן תִּקְוַ֥ת (ענוים) [עֲ֝נִיִּ֗ים] תֹּאבַ֥ד לָעַֽד׃

For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־יָעֹ֣ז אֱנ֑וֹשׁ יִשָּׁפְט֥וּ ג֝וֹיִ֗ם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

שִׁ֘יתָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מוֹרָ֗ה לָ֫הֶ֥ם יֵדְע֥וּ גוֹיִ֑ם אֱנ֖וֹשׁ הֵ֣מָּה סֶּֽלָה׃

Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
