Psalm 9
Legacy Standard Bible►► 

Yahweh Will Judge the World in Righteousness

For the choir director. [†]Almuth-labben. A Psalm of David.

Aleph

1[†]I will give thanks to Yahweh with all my heart;

I will recount all Your [†]wondrous deeds.

Aleph

2I will be glad and exult in You;

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Beth

3When my enemies turn back,

They stumble and perish before You.

4For You have maintained my [†]justice and my cause;

You have sat on the throne [†]judging righteously.

Gimel

5You have rebuked the nations, You have made the wicked perish;

You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

He

6[†]The enemy has come to an end in perpetual [†]ruins,

And You have uprooted the cities;

The very memory of them has perished.

Vav

7But Yahweh [†]abides forever;

He has established His throne for judgment,

Vav

8And He will judge the world in righteousness;

He will render justice for the peoples with equity.

Vav

9[†]Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of [†]distress;

Vav

10And [†]those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, O Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Zayin

11Sing praises to Yahweh, who abides in Zion;

Declare among the peoples His acts.

12For He who [†]requires blood remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

Heth

13Be gracious to me, O Yahweh;

See my affliction from those who hate me,

You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14That I may recount all Your praises,

That in the gates of the daughter of Zion

I may rejoice in Your [†]salvation.

Teth

15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;

In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

16Yahweh has made Himself known;

He has executed judgment.

In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. [†]Higgaion [†]Selah.

Yodh

17The wicked will [†]return to Sheol,

Even all the nations who forget God.

Kaph

18For the needy will not always be forgotten,

Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

19Arise, O Yahweh, do not let man prevail;

Let the nations be judged before You.

20Put them in fear, O Yahweh;

Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.
