- Chapter 9 -

I will give thanks to the Lord

1
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ONDEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, || I recount all Your wonders,
2
I rejoice and exult in You, || I praise Your Name, O Most High.
3
In my enemies turning backward, || They stumble and perish from Your face.
4
For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, || Judging [with] righteousness.
5
You have rebuked nations, || You have destroyed the wicked, || You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
6
The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, || As for cities you have plucked up, || Their memorial has perished with them.
7
And YHWH abides for all time, || He is preparing His throne for judgment.
8
And He judges the world in righteousness, || He judges the peoples in uprightness.
9
And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, || A tower for times of adversity.
10
They trust in You who know Your Name, || For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
11
Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, || Declare His acts among the peoples,
12
For He who is seeking for blood || Has remembered them, || He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13
Favor me, O YHWH, || See my affliction by those hating me, || You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14
So that I recount all Your praise, || In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.
15
Nations have sunk in a pit they made, || Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.
16
YHWH has been known, || He has done judgment; By a work of his hands || The wicked has been snared. Meditation. Selah.
17
The wicked turn back to Sheol, || All nations forgetting God.
18
For the needy is not forgotten forever, || [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
19
Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, || Let nations be judged before Your face.
20
Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, || Let nations know they [are] men! Selah.

I will give thanks to the Lord

1
I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4
For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7
But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9
The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
10
Those who 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, and declare among the people what he has done.
12
For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
13
Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
14
that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15
The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16
The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
17
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,(a) even all the nations that forget God.
18
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19
Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20
Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
