Psalm 9:3–12

2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;

I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

3 My enemies turn back;

they stumble and perish before you.

4 For you have upheld my right and my cause,

sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.

5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;

you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,

you have uprooted their cities;

even the memory of them has perished.

7 The Lord reigns forever;

he has established his throne for judgment.

8 He rules the world in righteousness

and judges the peoples with equity.

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you,

for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;

proclaim among the nations what he has done.

2 I will be glad and exult in you;

I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turn back,

they stumble and perish before your presence.

4 For you have maintained my just cause;

you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

5 You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;

you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;

their cities you rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for justice,

8 and he judges the world with righteousness;

he judges the peoples with uprightness.

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,

for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!

Tell among the peoples his deeds!

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee:

I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

3 When mine enemies are turned back,

They shall fall and perish at thy presence.

4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;

Thou satest in the throne judging right.

5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,

Thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

And thou hast destroyed cities;

Their memorial is perished with them.

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever:

He hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness,

He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion:

Declare among the people his doings.

2 I will be filled with joy because of you.

I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

3 My enemies retreated;

they staggered and died when you appeared.

4 For you have judged in my favor;

from your throne you have judged with fairness.

5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;

you have erased their names forever.

6 The enemy is finished, in endless ruins;

the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

7 But the Lord reigns forever,

executing judgment from his throne.

8 He will judge the world with justice

and rule the nations with fairness.

9 The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you,

for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

11 Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem.

Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in You;

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turn back,

They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

4 For You have maintained my right and my cause;

You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

5 You have rebuked the nations,

You have destroyed the wicked;

You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!

And you have destroyed cities;

Even their memory has perished.

7 But the Lord shall endure forever;

He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8 He shall judge the world in righteousness,

And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!

Declare His deeds among the people.

2 I will be happy because of you;

God Most High, I will sing praises to your name.

3 My enemies turn back;

they are overwhelmed and die because of you.

4 You have heard my complaint;

you sat on your throne and judged by what was right.

5 You spoke strongly against the foreign nations and destroyed the wicked;

you wiped out their names forever and ever.

6 The enemy is gone forever.

You destroyed their cities;

no one even remembers them.

7 But the Lord rules forever.

He sits on his throne to judge,

8 and he will judge the world in fairness;

he will decide what is fair for the nations.

9 The Lord defends those who suffer;

he defends them in times of trouble.

10 Those who know the Lord trust him,

because he will not leave those who come to him.

11 Sing praises to the Lord who is king on Mount Zion.

Tell the nations what he has done.

2 I will be glad and exult in thee;

I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

3 When mine enemies turn back,

They stumble and perish at thy presence.

4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;

Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;

Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;

And the cities which thou hast overthrown,

The very remembrance of them is perished.

7 But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:

He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

8 And he will judge the world in righteousness,

He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,

A high tower in times of trouble;

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;

For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:

Declare among the people his doings.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High. 3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence: 4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously. 5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6 O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. —Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished. 7 But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment. 8 And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. 9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress. 10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.

2 I will find joy and be glad about you. 

I will make music to praise your name, O Most High. 

3 When my enemies retreat, they will stumble and die in your presence. 

4 You have defended my just cause: 

You sat down on your throne as a fair judge. 

5 You condemned nations. 

You destroyed wicked people. 

You wiped out their names forever and ever. 

6 The enemy is finished—in ruins forever. 

You have uprooted their cities. 

Even the memory of them has faded. 

7 Yet, the Lord is enthroned forever. 

He has set up his throne for judgment. 

8 He alone judges the world with righteousness. 

He judges ⸤its⸥ people fairly.
