Psalms 9
9
Our Righteous Judge
1For the music director, to the tune of “The Death of the Son,” a psalm of David.
2I will praise Adonai with my whole heart. I will tell about all Your wonders.
3I will be glad and rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, Elyon!
4When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before You.
5For You upheld my right and my cause. You sat upon the throne, judging righteously.
6You rebuked the nations, You destroyed the wicked— blotting out their name forever and ever.
7The enemy is finished, in ruins forever. You overturned their cities— even the memory of them has perished.
8But Adonai reigns forever. He established His throne for judgment.
9He judges the world in righteousness and governs the peoples justly.
10Adonai is a stronghold for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
11Those who know Your Name trust You— for You, Adonai, never have forsaken those who seek You.
12Sing praises to Adonai, who dwells in Zion. Declare His deeds among the peoples.
13He who avenges blood remembers. He will not forget the cry of the afflicted.
14Be compassionate to me, Adonai. See my affliction from those hating me. Lift me up from the gates of death.
15Then I will tell all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion, rejoicing in Your salvation.
16The nations sank into the pit they made. The net they hid caught their own foot.
17Adonai is known for executing judgment. The wicked one is trapped in the work of his own hands. Selah
18The wicked will turn to Sheol, as will all the nations that forget God.
19For the needy will not forever be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
20Arise, Adonai, do not let man triumph. Let the nations be judged before You.
21Strike them with terror, Adonai. Let the nations know they are only human. Selah

Psalm 9
9
I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds
# 9:1 Psalms 9 and 10 together follow an acrostic pattern, each stanza beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the Septuagint they form one psalm To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben.#9:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term A Psalm of David.
1I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your #Ps. 26:7; 40:5; 96:3; 105:5wonderful deeds.
2I will be glad and #Ps. 5:11 exult in you;
I will #Ps. 7:17 sing praise to your name, #See Ps. 83:18O Most High.
3When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish before#9:3 Or because of your presence.
4For you have #Ps. 140:12 maintained my just cause;
you have #Ps. 29:10sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5You have #Ps. 68:30 rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
you have #Deut. 9:14; 29:20; [Prov. 10:7]blotted out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
their cities you rooted out;
the very memory of them has perished.
7But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
he has established his throne for justice,
8and he #Ps. 58:11; 96:13; 98:9 judges the world with righteousness;
he #Ps. 96:10judges the peoples with uprightness.
9The Lord is #2 Sam. 22:3; [Prov. 18:10] a stronghold for #Ps. 10:18; 74:21 the oppressed,
a stronghold in #Ps. 10:1times of trouble.
10And those who #Ps. 91:14know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11Sing praises to the Lord, who #Ps. 76:2 sits enthroned in Zion!
Tell among the peoples his #Ps. 77:12; [Ps. 107:22]deeds!
12For he who #Gen. 9:5; [Ps. 10:13]; See 1 Kgs. 21:17-19 avenges blood is mindful of them;
he #ver. 18; Ps. 10:12; [Ps. 12:5]does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 #
Ps. 4:1 Be gracious to me, O Lord!
See my affliction from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from #See Job 38:17the gates of death,
14that I may recount all your praises,
that in the gates of #2 Kgs. 19:21; Isa. 37:22 the daughter of Zion
I may #Ps. 13:5; 20:5; 21:1; 35:9; 1 Sam. 2:1rejoice in your salvation.
15The nations have sunk in #See Ps. 7:15 the pit that they made;
in #See Job 18:8the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The Lord has made himself #Ex. 7:5; 14:4known; he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.#9:16 Probably a musical or liturgical term Selah
17The wicked shall #[Gen. 3:19] return to Sheol,
all the nations that #Ps. 50:22; Job 8:13; Isa. 51:13forget God.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
and #[Prov. 23:18; 24:14]the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 # See Ps. 3:7 Arise, O Lord! Let not #[Ps. 10:18]man prevail;
let the nations be judged before you!
20Put them in fear, O Lord!
Let the nations know that they are but #[See ver. 19 above]men! Selah
