Psalm 9

Legacy Standard Bible

9 ^[b]I will give thanks to Yahweh with all ^(A)my heart;
I will ^(B)recount all Your ^[c]wondrous deeds.

² I will be glad and ^(C)exult in You;
I will ^(D)sing praise to Your name, O ^(E)Most High.

³ When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and ^(F)perish before You.
⁴ For You have ^(G)maintained my ^[d]justice and my cause;
You have sat on the throne ^[e](H)judging righteously.

⁵ You have ^(I)rebuked the nations, You have made the wicked perish;
You have ^(J)blotted out their name forever and ever.

^6 [f]The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ^[g]ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very ^(K)memory of them has perished.

⁷ But ^(L)Yahweh ^[h]abides forever;
He has established His ^(M)throne for judgment,

⁸ And He will ^(N)judge the world in righteousness;
He will render justice for the peoples with equity.

^9 [i]Yahweh also will be a ^(O)stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of ^[j]distress;

¹⁰ And ^[k]those who ^(P)know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O Yahweh, have not ^(Q)forsaken those who seek You.

¹¹ Sing praises to Yahweh, who ^(R)abides in Zion;
^(S)Declare among the peoples His acts.
¹² For ^(T)He who ^[l]requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget ^(U)the cry of the afflicted.

¹³ Be gracious to me, O Yahweh;
See my affliction from those ^(V)who hate me,
You who ^(W)lift me up from the gates of death,
¹⁴ That I may recount ^(X)all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may ^(Y)rejoice in Your ^[m]salvation.

¹⁵ The nations have sunk down ^(Z)in the pit which they have made;
In the ^(AA)net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
¹⁶ Yahweh has ^(AB)made Himself known;
He has ^(AC)executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. ^[n]Higgaion ^[o]Selah.

¹⁷ The wicked will ^[p](AD)return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who ^(AE)forget God.

¹⁸ For the ^(AF)needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the ^(AG)hope of the afflicted perish forever.
^19 (AH)Arise, O Yahweh, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be ^(AI)judged before You.
²⁰ Put them ^(AJ)in fear, O Yahweh;
Let the nations know that they are ^(AK)but men. Selah.
