9:1  For the leader. On the death of Labben. A psalm of David:
9:2  I give thanks to Adonai with all my heart. I will tell about all your wonderful deeds.
9:3  I will be glad and exult in you. I will sing praise to your name, ‘Elyon.
9:4  When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.
9:5  For you upheld my cause as just, sitting on the throne as the righteous judge.
9:6  You rebuked the nations, destroyed the wicked, blotted out their name forever and ever.
9:7  The enemy is finished, in ruins forever; you destroyed their cities; all memory of them is lost.
9:8  But Adonai is enthroned forever; he has set up his throne for judgment.
9:9  He will judge the world in righteousness; he will judge the peoples fairly.
9:10  Adonai is a stronghold for the oppressed, a tower of strength in times of trouble.
9:11  Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you have not abandoned those who seek you, Adonai.
9:12  Sing praises to Adonai, who lives in Tziyon; proclaim his deeds among the peoples.
9:13  For the avenger of blood remembers them, he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted:
9:14  “Have mercy on me, Adonai! See how I suffer from those who hate me; you raise me from the gates of death,
9:15  so that I can proclaim all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Tziyon and rejoice in this deliverance of yours.”
9:16  The nations have drowned in the pit they dug, caught their own feet in the net they hid.
9:17  Adonai made himself known and executed judgment; the wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. (Higgayon; Selah)
9:18  The wicked will return to Sh’ol, all the nations that forget God.
9:19  For the poor will not always be forgotten or the hope of the needy perish forever.
9:20  Arise, Adonai! Don’t let mortals prevail! Let the nations be judged in your presence.
9:21  Strike them with terror, Adonai! Let the nations know they are only human. (Selah)
