9:1 For the worship leader. A song of David to the tune “Death of a Son.” All my heart will give thanks to You, Eternal One. I will tell others about Your amazing works.
9:2 I will be glad and celebrate You! I will praise You, O Most High!
9:3 When my adversaries turned and fled, they fell and died right in front of You,
9:4 For You supported my just cause. From Your throne, You have judged wisely.
9:5 You confronted the nations; You have destroyed the wicked. You have erased their names from history.
9:6 The enemy is finished, their time is up; their cities will lie in ruin forever; all memory of them is gone.
9:7 Still the Eternal remains and will reign forever; He has taken His place on His throne for judgment.
9:8 So He will judge the world rightly. He shall execute that judgment equally on all people.
9:9 For the Eternal will be a shelter for those who know misery, a refuge during troubling times.
9:10 Those who know Your name will rely on You, for You, O Eternal One, have not abandoned those who search for You.
9:11 Praise Him who lives on Zion’s holy hill. Tell the story of His great acts among the people!
9:12 For He remembers the victims of violence and avenges their blood; He does not turn a deaf ear to the cry of the needy.
9:13 Be gracious to me, O Eternal One. Notice the harm I have suffered because of my enemies, You who carry me safely away from death’s door,
9:14 So that I may rehearse Your deeds, declare Your praise, and rejoice in Your rescue when I take my stand in the gates of Zion.
9:15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others, their own feet caught, snared by the net they hid.
9:16 The Eternal is well known, for He has taken action and secured justice; He has trapped the wicked through the work of their own hands. [pause with music]
9:17 The wicked are headed for death and the grave; all the nations who forget the True God will share a similar fate.
9:18 For those in need shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor will never die.
9:19 Eternal One, arise! Do not allow mere mortals to win the day. Judge the nations Yourself.
9:20 Put the fear of God in them, Eternal One! Remind the nations they are mere men, not gods. [pause]
