Psalms 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.	1 [For the choirmaster On oboe and harp Psalm Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with my whole heart, Irecount al your wonders,
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.	2 I rejoice and delight in you, I sing to your name, Most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.	3 My enemies are in retreat, they stumble and perish at your presence,
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.	4 for you have given fair judgement in my favour, seated on your throne as upright judge.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.	5 You have rebuked the nations, destroyed the wicked, blotted 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.	6 the enemy is wiped out -- mere ruins for ever -- you have annihilated their cities, their memory hasperished. See,
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.	7 Yahweh is enthroned for ever, keeping his throne firm for judgement;
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.	8 he wil himself judge the world in uprightness, wil give a true verdict on the nations.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.	9 May Yahweh be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold 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.	10 Those who revere your name can rely on you, you never desert those who seek you, Yahweh.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.	11 Sing to Yahweh who dwel s in Zion, tel the nations his mighty deeds,
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.	12 for the avenger of blood does not forget them, he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
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:	13 Have pity on me, Yahweh, see my affliction, pull me back 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.	14 that I may recount al your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.	15 The nations have fal en into the trap they made, their feet caught in the snare they laid.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.	16 Yahweh has made himself known, given judgement, he has ensnared the wicked in the work of theirown hands.Muted music Pause
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.	17 May the wicked turn away to Sheol, al the nations forgetful of God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.	18 For the needy is not forgotten for ever, not for ever does the hope of the poor come to nothing.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.	19 Arise, Yahweh; human strength shal not prevail. The nations shal stand trial before you.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.	20 Strike them with terror, Yahweh; the nations shall know that they are no more than human!Pause
