ULT PSA Chapter 9

For the chief musician; set to Muth Labben style. A psalm of David.

9 I will thank Yahweh with all my heart,

I will recount all your wonders.

2 I will rejoice and exult in you,

I will sing praise to your name, Most High!

3 When my enemies turn back,

they stumble and perish from your face.

4 For you have done my justice and my claim;

you have sat on your throne, a judge of righteousness!

5 You rebuked nations; you destroyed the wicked;

you blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy are finished—desolation forever,

and you pulled up cities.

As for them, their remembrance perished,

7 but Yahweh will sit forever.

He has established his throne for justice,

8 as for him, he will judge the world with righteousness,

and he will adjudicate for the peoples with fairness.

9 And may Yahweh be a secure height for the oppressed,

a secure height for times with distress.

10 And may the knowers of your name trust in you,

because you have not abandoned the seekers of you, Yahweh.

11 Sing praises to Yahweh, the sitter in Zion!

Declare his deeds among the peoples

12 for the seeker of vengeance for bloodshed remembered them,

he does not forget the cry of the afflicted ones.

13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh! See my affliction from my haters,

O lifter of me from the gates of death,

14 in order that I might recount all your praise

in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

I will rejoice in your salvation!

15 The nations have sunk down into the pit they made;

their foot is caught in the net that they hid.

16 Yahweh has revealed himself, he has done justice;

the wicked is ensnared by the work of his hands. Higgaion Selah

17 Wicked ones will turn back to Sheol,

all nations are forgetful of God.

18 But the needy will not be forgotten eternally,

nor will the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

19 Arise, Yahweh! Let not humanity prevail!

On your face let nations be judged.

20 Put terror to them, Yahweh!

May nations know they are human. Selah
