Ps 9

FFor the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders. (MT 9:2; LXX 9:2; Rahlfs 9:2) לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמ֥וּת לַבֵּ֗ן מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ 2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. (MT 9:3; LXX 9:3; Rahlfs 9:3) אוֹדֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּ֑י אֲ֝סַפְּרָ֗ה כָּל־נִפְלְאוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ 3When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You. (MT 9:4; LXX 9:4; Rahlfs 9:4) אֶשְׂמְחָ֣ה וְאֶעֶלְצָ֣ה בָ֑ךְ אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ 4For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously. (MT 9:5; LXX 9:5; Rahlfs 9:5) בְּשׁוּב־אוֹיְבַ֥י אָח֑וֹר יִכָּשְׁל֥וּ וְ֝יֹאבְד֗וּ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃ 5You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever. (MT 9:6; LXX 9:6; Rahlfs 9:6) כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃ 6The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished. (MT 9:7; LXX 9:7; Rahlfs 9:7) גָּעַ֣רְתָּ ג֭וֹיִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע שְׁמָ֥ם מָ֝חִ֗יתָ לְעוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃ 7But the Lord abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment. (MT 9:8; LXX 9:8; Rahlfs 9:8) הָֽאוֹיֵ֨ב ׀ תַּ֥מּוּ חֳרָב֗וֹת לָ֫נֶ֥צַח וְעָרִ֥ים נָתַ֑שְׁתָּ אָבַ֖ד זִכְרָ֣ם הֵֽמָּה׃ 8He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity. (MT 9:9; LXX 9:9; Rahlfs 9:9) וַֽ֭יהוָה לְעוֹלָ֣ם יֵשֵׁ֑ב כּוֹנֵ֖ן לַמִּשְׁפָּ֣ט כִּסְאֽוֹ׃ 9The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (MT 9:10; LXX 9:10; Rahlfs 9:10) וְה֗וּא יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק יָדִ֥ין לְ֝אֻמִּ֗ים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃ 10Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. (MT 9:11; LXX 9:11; Rahlfs 9:11) וִ֘יהִ֤י יְהוָ֣ה מִשְׂגָּ֣ב לַדָּ֑ךְ מִ֝שְׂגָּ֗ב לְעִתּ֥וֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃ 11Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations. (MT 9:12; LXX 9:12; Rahlfs 9:12) וְיִבְטְח֣וּ בְ֭ךָ יוֹדְעֵ֣י שְׁמֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י לֹֽא־עָזַ֖בְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה׃ 12For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. (MT 9:13; LXX 9:13; Rahlfs 9:13) זַמְּר֗וּ לַ֭יהוָה יֹשֵׁ֣ב צִיּ֑וֹן הַגִּ֥ידוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִֽילוֹתָֽיו׃ 13Be merciful to me, O Lord; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death, (MT 9:14; LXX 9:14; Rahlfs 9:14) כִּֽי־דֹרֵ֣שׁ דָּ֭מִים אוֹתָ֣ם זָכָ֑ר לֹֽא־שָׁ֝כַ֗ח צַעֲקַ֥ת עניים׃ 14that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. (MT 9:15; LXX 9:15; Rahlfs 9:15) חָֽנְנֵ֬נִי יְהוָ֗ה רְאֵ֣ה עָ֭נְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָ֑י מְ֝רוֹמְמִ֗י מִשַּׁ֥עֲרֵי מָֽוֶת׃ 15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. (MT 9:16; LXX 9:16; Rahlfs 9:16) לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיּ֑וֹן אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃ 16The Lord is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah (MT 9:17; LXX 9:17; Rahlfs 9:17) טָבְע֣וּ ג֭וֹיִם בְּשַׁ֣חַת עָשׂ֑וּ בְּרֶֽשֶׁת־ז֥וּ טָ֝מָ֗נוּ נִלְכְּדָ֥ה רַגְלָֽם׃ 17The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God. (MT 9:18; LXX 9:18; Rahlfs 9:18) נ֤וֹדַ֨ע ׀ יְהוָה֮ מִשְׁפָּ֪ט עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בְּפֹ֣עַל כַּ֭פָּיו נוֹקֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֑ע הִגָּי֥וֹן סֶֽלָה׃ 18For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed. (MT 9:19; LXX 9:19; Rahlfs 9:19) יָשׁ֣וּבוּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים לִשְׁא֑וֹלָה כָּל־גּ֝וֹיִ֗ם שְׁכֵחֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃ 19Rise up, O Lord, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence. (MT 9:20; LXX 9:20; Rahlfs 9:20) כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לָ֭נֶצַח יִשָּׁכַ֣ח אֶבְי֑וֹן תִּקְוַ֥ת ענוים תֹּאבַ֥ד לָעַֽד׃ 20Lay terror upon them, O Lord; let the nations know they are but men. Selah (MT 9:21; LXX 9:21; Rahlfs 9:21) קוּמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אַל־יָעֹ֣ז אֱנ֑וֹשׁ יִשָּׁפְט֥וּ ג֝וֹיִ֗ם עַל־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃
