Psalm 9
New International Version

Psalm 9[a][b]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.

1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;(A)
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.(B)
2 I will be glad and rejoice(C) in you;
    I will sing the praises(D) of your name,(E) O Most High.

3 My enemies turn back;
    they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right(F) and my cause,(G)
    sitting enthroned(H) as the righteous judge.(I)
5 You have rebuked the nations(J) and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name(K) for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;(L)
    even the memory of them(M) has perished.

7 The Lord reigns forever;(N)
    he has established his throne(O) for judgment.
8 He rules the world in righteousness(P)
    and judges the peoples with equity.(Q)
9 The Lord is a refuge(R) for the oppressed,(S)
    a stronghold in times of trouble.(T)
10 Those who know your name(U) trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken(V) those who seek you.(W)

11 Sing the praises(X) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(Y)
    proclaim among the nations(Z) what he has done.(AA)
12 For he who avenges blood(AB) remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(AC)

13 Lord, see how my enemies(AD) persecute me!
    Have mercy(AE) and lift me up from the gates of death,(AF)
14 that I may declare your praises(AG)
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,(AH)
    and there rejoice in your salvation.(AI)

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;(AJ)
    their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.(AK)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
    the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[c](AL)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,(AM)
    all the nations that forget God.(AN)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope(AO) of the afflicted(AP) will never perish.

19 Arise,(AQ) Lord, do not let mortals triumph;(AR)
    let the nations be judged(AS) in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror,(AT) Lord;
    let the nations know they are only mortal.(AU)

Psalm 9
New King James Version

Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Righteous Judgments

To the Chief Musician. To the tune of [a]“Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.

9 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and (A)rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, (B)O Most High.

3 When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
5 You have rebuked the [b]nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have (C)blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has (D)perished.
7 (E)But the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 (F)He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a (G)refuge[c] for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who (H)know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
(I)Declare His deeds among the people.
12 (J)When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the [d]humble.

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of [e]the daughter of Zion.
I will (K)rejoice in Your salvation.

15 (L)The [f]nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The Lord is (M)known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
(N)Meditation.[g] Selah

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the [h]nations (O)that forget God.
18 (P)For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
(Q)The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the [i]nations be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord,
That the [j]nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah

Psalm 9
King James Version

9 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 9[a]

Tacksägelse för seger över fiender

1 För sångmästaren, till mutlabbén.[b] En psalm av David.

2 Jag vill tacka Herren av hela mitt hjärta,
jag vill förkunna alla dina under.
3 Jag vill vara glad och jubla i dig,
    jag vill lovsjunga ditt namn, du den Högste.
4 Ty mina fiender viker tillbaka,
    de faller och går under inför ditt ansikte.
5 Du har hävdat min rätt och fört min talan,
du sitter på din tron som en rättfärdig domare.
6 Du har straffat hednafolk
    och förgjort ogudaktiga,
deras namn har du utplånat för evigt.
7 Fienderna är borta, utrotade för alltid.
Deras städer har du omstörtat,
    minnet av dem har du utplånat.
8 Herren regerar i evighet,
    sin tron har han gjort till ett domarsäte.
9 Han skall döma världen med rättfärdighet,
skipa rätt bland folken med rättvisa.
10 Herren är en borg för den förtryckte,
en borg i nödens tider.
11 De som känner ditt namn förtröstar på dig,
ty du överger inte dem som söker dig, Herre.
12 Lovsjung Herren som bor i Sion,
    förkunna hans gärningar bland folken.
13 Ty han som hämnas blodsutgjutelser kommer ihåg dem,
han glömmer ej de betrycktas klagorop.

14 Var mig nådig, Herre.
    Se hur jag plågas av dem som hatar mig,
du som lyfter mig upp från dödens portar,
15 för att jag skall förkunna allt ditt lov
och i dottern Sions portar jubla över din frälsning.
16 Hednafolk har sjunkit ner
    i den grav de grävde,
i det nät de lade ut har deras fot blivit fångad.
17 Herren har gjort sig känd,
    han har hållit dom.
Den ogudaktige blir snärjd i sina egna gärningar.
Higgajón[c]. Sela.
18 De ogudaktiga skall vika tillbaka ner i dödsriket,
alla hednafolk som glömmer Gud.
19 Men den fattige skall inte bli glömd för alltid,
de betrycktas hopp skall ej bli om intet för evigt.
20 Stå upp, Herre, låt inte människor få makten,
låt hednafolken bli dömda inför ditt ansikte.
21 Låt fruktan komma över dem, Herre,
låt hednafolken förstå att de endast är människor. Sela.
