Psalms 9

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 [For the choirmaster On oboe and harp Psalm Of David] I thank you, Yahweh, with my whole heart, Irecount al your wonders,	1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַלְמוּת לַבֵּן מִזְמֹור לְדָוִד
2 I rejoice and delight in you, I sing to your name, Most High.	2 אֹודֶה יְהוָה בְּכָל־לִבִּי אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־נִפְלְאֹותֶיךָ
3 My enemies are in retreat, they stumble and perish at your presence,	3 אֶשְׂמְחָה וְאֶעֶלְצָה בָךְ אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ עֶלְיֹון
4 for you have given fair judgement in my favour, seated on your throne as upright judge.	4 בְּשׁוּב־אֹויְבַי אָחֹור יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְיֹאבְדוּ מִפָּנֶיךָ
5 You have rebuked the nations, destroyed the wicked, blotted out their name for ever and ever;	5 כִּי־עָשִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִי וְדִינִי יָשַׁבְתָּ לְכִסֵּא שֹׁופֵט צֶדֶק
6 the enemy is wiped out -- mere ruins for ever -- you have annihilated their cities, their memory hasperished. See,	6 גָּעַרְתָּ גֹויִם אִבַּדְתָּ רָשָׁע שְׁמָם מָחִיתָ לְעֹולָם וָעֶד
7 Yahweh is enthroned for ever, keeping his throne firm for judgement;	7 הָאֹויֵב ׀ תַּמּוּ חֳרָבֹות לָנֶצַח וְעָרִים נָתַשְׁתָּ אָבַד זִכְרָם הֵמָּה
8 he wil himself judge the world in uprightness, wil give a true verdict on the nations.	8 וַיהוָה לְעֹולָם יֵשֵׁב כֹּונֵן לַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּסְאֹו
9 May Yahweh be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble!	9 וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים
10 Those who revere your name can rely on you, you never desert those who seek you, Yahweh.	10 וִיהִי יְהוָה מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתֹּות בַּצָּרָה
11 Sing to Yahweh who dwel s in Zion, tel the nations his mighty deeds,	11 וְיִבְטְחוּ בְךָ יֹודְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ כִּי לֹא־עָזַבְתָּ דֹרְשֶׁיךָ יְהוָה
12 for the avenger of blood does not forget them, he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.	12 זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה יֹשֵׁב צִיֹּון הַגִּידוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹותָיו
13 Have pity on me, Yahweh, see my affliction, pull me back from the gates of death,	13 כִּי־דֹרֵשׁ דָּמִים אֹותָם זָכָר לֹאשָׁ־כַח צַעֲקַת [עֲנִיִּים כ] (עֲנָוִים׃ ק)
14 that I may recount al your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in your salvation.	14 חָנְנֵנִי יְהוָה רְאֵה עָנְיִי מִשֹּׂנְאָי מְרֹומְמִי מִשַּׁעֲרֵי מָוֶת
15 The nations have fal en into the trap they made, their feet caught in the snare they laid.	15 לְמַעַן אֲסַפְּרָה כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֶיךָ בְּשַׁעֲרֵי בַת־צִיֹּון אָגִילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ
16 Yahweh has made himself known, given judgement, he has ensnared the wicked in the work of theirown hands.Muted music Pause	16 טָבְעוּ גֹויִם בְּשַׁחַת עָשׂוּ בְּרֶשֶׁת־זוּ טָמָנוּ נִלְכְּדָה רַגְלָם
17 May the wicked turn away to Sheol, al the nations forgetful of God.	17 נֹודַע ׀ יְהוָה מִשְׁפָּט עָשָׂה בְּפֹעַל כַּפָּיו נֹוקֵשׁ רָשָׁע הִגָּיֹון סֶלָה
18 For the needy is not forgotten for ever, not for ever does the hope of the poor come to nothing.	18 יָשׁוּבוּ רְשָׁעִים לִשְׁאֹולָה כָּל־גֹּויִם שְׁכֵחֵי אֱלֹהִים
19 Arise, Yahweh; human strength shal not prevail. The nations shal stand trial before you.	19 כִּי לֹא לָנֶצַח יִשָּׁכַח אֶבְיֹון תִּקְוַת [עֲנָוִים כ] (עֲנִיִּים ק) תֹּאבַד לָעַד
20 Strike them with terror, Yahweh; the nations shall know that they are no more than human!Pause	20 קוּמָה יְהוָה אַל־יָעֹז אֱנֹושׁ יִשָּׁפְטוּ גֹויִם עַל־פָּנֶיךָ
	21 שִׁיתָה יְהוָה ׀ מֹורָה לָהֶם יֵדְעוּ גֹויִם אֱנֹושׁ הֵמָּה סֶּלָה
