| Chapter 9 |
1 |
To the Overseer, 'On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders, -
|
2 |
I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High. -
|
3 |
In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face. -
|
4 |
For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness. -
|
5 |
Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever. -
|
6 |
O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them. -
|
7 |
And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne. -
|
8 |
And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness. -
|
9 |
And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity. -
|
10 |
They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah. -
|
11 |
Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts, -
|
12 |
For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted. -
|
13 |
Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death, -
|
14 |
So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation. -
|
15 |
Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured. -
|
16 |
Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah. -
|
17 |
The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. -
|
18 |
For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age. -
|
19 |
Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face. -
|
20 |
Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah. -
