| Chapter 9 |
1 |
I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works. |
2 |
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, you Most High. |
3 |
When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence. |
4 |
For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously. |
5 |
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. |
6 |
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. |
7 |
But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. |
8 |
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. |
9 |
Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble. |
10 |
Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. |
11 |
Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, And declare among the people what he has done. |
12 |
For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn`t forget the cry of the afflicted. |
13 |
Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death; |
14 |
That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation. |
15 |
The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken. |
16 |
Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah. |
17 |
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. |
18 |
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever. |
19 |
Arise, Yahweh! Don`t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight. |
20 |
Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah. Psalm 10 |
