9:1 I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, you Most High.

9:3 When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence.

9:4 For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

9:5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

9:6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

9:7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

9:8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9:9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble.

9:10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

9:11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, And declare among the people what he has done.

9:12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn`t forget the cry of the afflicted.

9:13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death;

9:14 That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation.

9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

9:16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

9:17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

9:19 Arise, Yahweh! Don`t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
