Psalms 9

CLV(i) 1 {A Davidic Psalm{ I shall acclaim You, O Yahweh, with all my heart; I will recount all Your marvelous works. 2 I will rejoice and be glad in You; I will make melody to Your Name, O Supreme. 3 When my enemies are reversed backward, They shall stumble and perish from Your presence, 4 For You execute my judgment and my adjudication; You are seated on the throne, judging righteously. 5 You rebuke the nations; You destroy the wicked; You wipe out their name for the eon and further. 6 As for the enemy, they will come to end like permanent deserts, And You will eliminate their cities; their remembrance will perish with them. 7 Yet Yahweh, He shall sit enthroned for the eon; He will establish His throne for judgment, 8 And He shall judge the habitance with justice; He shall adjudicate the national groups with equity. 9 Yahweh shall become an Impregnable Retreat for the crushed, An Impregnable Retreat for seasons of distress. 10 So those knowing Your Name shall trust in You, For You do not forsake those seeking after You, O Yahweh. 11 Make melody to Yahweh, the One dwelling in Zion; Tell His activities among the peoples. 12 For the One seeking after bloodshed, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humbled ones. 13 Be gracious to me, O Yahweh; See my humiliation from those hating me; You are raising me up from the gateways of death, 14 That I may recount all Your praises In the gateways of the daughter of Zion; Let me exult in Your salvation. 15 The nations are sunk in the grave they have made; Their foot is seized in the net that they have buried. 16 Yahweh is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked are trapped by the deed of His palms. {Chant, Interlude{ " 17 The wicked shall return to the unseen, All the nations, forgetful of Elohim. 18 For the needy one shall not be forgotten permanently; The expectation of the humbled shall not perish for the future. 19 Do arise, O Yahweh, let not a mortal prevail; Let the nations be judged at Your presence. 20 Do set fear before them, O Yahweh; Let the nations know they are mortal. {Interlude{ "
