Psalms 9

lamnatseakh al-mut labben mizmor ledavid

For the leader; ʻalmuth labben. A psalm of David.

odeh Adonai bekhol-libbi asapperah kol-nifle'otekha

I will praise You, ETERNAL One, with all my heart; I will tell all Your wonders.

esmekhah ve'e'eltsah vakh azammerah shimkha elyon

I will rejoice and exult in You, singing a hymn to Your name, O Most High.

beshuv-oyevay akhor yikkashelu veyovedu mippanekha

When my enemies retreat, they stumble to their doom at Your presence.

ki-asita mishpati vedini yashavta lekhisse shofet tsedeq

For You uphold my right and claim, enthroned as righteous judge.

ga'arta goyim ibbadta rasha shemam makhita le'olam va'ed

You blast the nations; You destroy the wicked; You blot out their name forever.

ha'oyev tammu khoravot lanetsakh ve'arim natashta avad zikhram hemmah

The enemy is no more— ruins everlasting; You have torn down their cities; their very names are lost.

va-Adonai le'olam yeshev konen lammishpat kiso

But GOD, whose throne is set up for judgment, abides forever;

vehu yishpot-tevel betsedeq yadin le'ummim bemesharim

it is [God] who judges the world with righteousness, rules the peoples with equity.

vihi Adonai misgav laddakh misgav le'ittot batsarah

GOD is a haven for the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.

veyivtekhu vekha yode'e shemekha ki lo-azavta doreshekha Adonai

Those who know Your name trust You, for You do not abandon those who turn to You, O ETERNAL One.

zammeru la-Adonai yoshev tsiyyon haggidu va'ammim alilotayw

Sing a hymn to the ETERNAL, who reigns in Zion; declare God’s deeds among the peoples.

ki-doresh damim otam zakhar lo-shakhakh tsa'aqat (nyym) [anavim]

For [God] does not ignore the cry of the afflicted; the One who requites bloodshed is mindful of them.

khaneneni Adonai re'eh onyi missone'ay meromemi misha'are mavet

Have mercy on me, O ETERNAL One; see my affliction at the hands of my foes, You who lift me from the gates of death,

lema'an asapperah kol-tehillatekha besha'are vat-tsiyyon agilah bishu'atekha

so that in the gates of Fair Zion I might tell all Your praise, I might exult in Your deliverance.

tave'u goyim beshakhat asu bereshet-zu tamanu nilkedah raglam

The nations sink in the pit they have made; their own foot is caught in the net they have hidden.

noda Adonai mishpat asah befo'al kappayw noqesh rasha higgayon selah

GOD is known, having worked judgment; the wicked are snared by their own devices. Higgaion. Selah.

yashuvu resha'im lisholah kol-goyim shekhekhe elohim

Let the wicked be in Sheol, all the nations who ignore God!

ki lo lanetsakh yishakhakh evyon tiqvat (nvym) [aniyyim] tovad la'ad

Not always shall the needy be ignored, nor the hope of the afflicted forever lost.

qumah Adonai al-ya'oz enosh yishafetu goyim al-panekha

Rise, O ETERNAL One! Let not mortals have power; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

shitah Adonai morah lahem yede'u goyim enosh hemmah selah

Strike fear into them, O ETERNAL One; let the nations know they are only mortals. Selah.
