Psalm 9
ESV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNET Bible
1I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.1For the music director; according to the alumoth-labben style; a psalm of David. I will thank the LORD with all my heart! I will tell about all your amazing deeds!
2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.2I will be happy and rejoice in you! I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One!
3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence.3When my enemies turn back, they trip and are defeated before you.
4For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.4For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision.
5You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.5You terrified the nations with your battle cry; you destroyed the wicked; you permanently wiped out all memory of them.
6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.6The enemy's cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.
7But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,7But the LORD rules forever; he reigns in a just manner.
8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.8He judges the world fairly; he makes just legal decisions for the nations.
9The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.9Consequently the LORD provides safety for the oppressed; he provides safety in times of trouble.
10And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.10Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, LORD, do not abandon those who seek your help.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!11Sing praises to the LORD, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!
12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.12For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help
13Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,13when they prayed: "Have mercy on me, LORD! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away 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.14Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance."
15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.15The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.
16The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah16The LORD revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
17The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.17The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.18for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.
19Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!19Rise up, LORD! Don't let men be defiant! May the nations be judged in your presence!
20Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah20Terrify them, LORD! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)
