Chapter 9

  I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.  

--

  I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, you Most High.  

--

  When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence.  

--

  For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.  

--

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

--

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

--

  But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.  

--

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

--

  Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble.  

--

  Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.  

--

  Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, And declare among the people what he has done.  

--

  For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.  

--

  Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death;  

--

  That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation.  

--

  The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.  

--

  Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.  

--

  The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.  

--

  For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.  

--

  Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.  

--

  Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah. Psalm 10
