PSALM 9
To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.
1I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works. 2I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High. 3When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence: 4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously. 5Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished. 7But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment. 8And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. 9And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress. 10And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings. 12For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten. 13Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death: 14That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation. 15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken. 16Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God#GodHebrew: Elohim 18For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever. 19Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight. 20Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 9
For the choir director; according to muth labben; #9:0 Or “almuth labben”; unknown musical term. a psalm by David.#9:0 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Greek, and Latin treat Psalms 9 and 10 as one psalm.
1I will give ⌞you⌟ thanks, O Lord, with all my heart.
I will tell about all the miracles you have done.
2I will find joy and be glad about you.
I will make music to praise your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies retreat, they will stumble and die in your presence.
4You have defended my just cause:
You sat down on your throne as a fair judge.
5You condemned nations.
You destroyed wicked people.
You wiped out their names forever and ever.
6The enemy is finished—in ruins forever.
You have uprooted their cities.
Even the memory of them has faded.
7Yet, the Lord is enthroned forever.
He has set up his throne for judgment.
8He alone judges the world with righteousness.
He judges ⌞its⌟ people fairly.
9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10Those who know your name trust you, O Lord,
because you have never deserted those who seek your help.
11Make music to praise the Lord, who is enthroned in Zion.
Announce to the nations what he has done.
12The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people.
He has never forgotten their cries.
13Have pity on me, O Lord.
Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me.
You take me away from the gates of death
14so that I may recite your praises one by one
in the gates of Zion
and find joy in your salvation.
15The nations have sunk into the pit they have made.
Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden ⌞to trap others⌟.
16The Lord is known by the judgment he has carried out.
The wicked person is trapped
by the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah
17Wicked people, all the nations who forget God,
will return to the grave.
18Needy people will not always be forgotten.
Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever.
19Arise, O Lord.
Do not let mortals gain any power.
Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20Strike them with terror, O Lord.
Let the nations know that they are ⌞only⌟ mortal. Selah
