9:1 For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. I will tell all the miracles you have done.
9:2 I will be happy because of you; God Most High, I will sing praises to your name.
9:3 My enemies turn back; they are overwhelmed and die because of you.
9:4 You have heard my complaint; you sat on your throne and judged by what was right.
9:5 You spoke strongly against the foreign nations and destroyed the wicked; you wiped out their names forever and ever.
9:6 The enemy is gone forever. You destroyed their cities; no one even remembers them.
9:7 But the Lord rules forever. He sits on his throne to judge,
9:8 and he will judge the world in fairness; he will decide what is fair for the nations.
9:9 The Lord defends those who suffer; he defends them in times of trouble.
9:10 Those who know the Lord trust him, because he will not leave those who come to him.
9:11 Sing praises to the Lord who is king on Mount Zion. Tell the nations what he has done.
9:12 He remembers who the murderers are; he will not forget the cries of those who suffer.
9:13 Lord, have mercy on me. See how my enemies hurt me. Do not let me go through the gates of death.
9:14 Then, at the gates of Jerusalem, I will praise you; I will rejoice because you saved me.
9:15 The nations have fallen into the pit they dug. Their feet are caught in the nets they laid.
9:16 The Lord has made himself known by his fair decisions; the wicked get trapped by what they do. Higgaion. Selah
9:17 Wicked people will go to the grave, and so will all those who forget God.
9:18 But those who have troubles will not be forgotten. The hopes of the poor will never die.
9:19 Lord, rise up and judge the nations. Don’t let people think they are strong.
9:20 Teach them to fear you, Lord. The nations must learn that they are only human. Selah
