Psalm 9:1-Psalm 11:1 - Celebration Of God's Justice
1 I will praise Yahweh with all my heart, I will recount all thy wonderful doings: 2 I will rejoice and exult in thee, I will praise in song, thy Name, O most High.
3 When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee; 4 For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously: 5 Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the lawless one, Their name, hast thou wiped out, to times age-abiding and beyond. 6 O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore, - even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished.
7 But, Yahweh, unto times age-abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne; 8 And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness. 9 Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution: 10 Thus let them who know thy Name, put confidence in thee, that thou hast not forsaken the searchers for thee, O Yahweh.
11 Sing ye praise to Yahweh, who is seated in Zion, Tell among the peoples his doings. 12 When he was making inquisition for blood, of them, had he remembrance, he forgat not the outcry of the oppressed.
13 Show me favour, O Yahweh! Behold my humiliation due to them who hate me, Lift me on high out of the gates of death; 14 That I may recount all thy praises, In the gates of the daughter of Zion, may exult in thy salvation.
15 The nations, have sunk, in the pit they had made, In the net which they had hidden, is caught their own foot. 16 To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. Refunding music. Selah.
17 The lawless, shall return, to hades, all nations forgetful of God. 18 For, not always, shall the needy, be forgotten, - nor, the hope of the oppressed, perish for ever.
19 Rise! Yahweh! let man not prevail, let the nations be judged before thee. 20 Appoint, O Yahweh, a terror for them, - Let the nations know that they are men. Selah.
1 Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou stand afar off? Wherefore hide thyself, in times of destitution? 2 In the pride of the lawless one, he hotly pursueth the poor, let them be caught in the plots which they have devised!
3 For the lawless one hath boasted over the longing of his soul, and, the robber, hath blasphemed Yahweh. 4 The lawless one, in the loftiness of his countenance, will not enquire, God is not in any of his plots: 5 His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them: 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune. 7 With cursing, his mouth is full, and with deceptions and oppression, Under his tongue, are trouble and mischief: 8 He abideth in the lurking-place of villages, In the hiding-places, he murdereth the innocent, - His eyes, for the unfortunate, are on the watch: 9 He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net: 10 He croucheth, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate. 11 He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
12 Arise! Yahweh! O GOD! raise thy hand, - Do not forget the patient! 13 Wherefore hath the lawless one blasphemed God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it ! 14 Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper. 15 Shatter thou the arm of the lawless one, And, as for the wrongful, wilt thou not enquire for his lawlessness - wilt thou not find it ?
16 Yahweh, is king, to times age-abiding and beyond, The nations have perished out of his land. 17 The longing of the patient, thou hast heard, O Yahweh, Thou wilt establish their heart, Thou wilt make attentive thine ear: 18 To vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, A man of the earth, shall, no further, cause terror!
1 In Yahweh, have I sought refuge. How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;
