Psalms 9:7-20 ESV ...But the a LORD
(יהוה)
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! (12) For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. (13) Be gracious to me, O LORD (יהוה)! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, (14) that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. (15) The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. (16) The LORD () has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah (17) The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (18) For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. (19) Arise, O LORD (יהוה)! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you! (20) Put them in fear, O LORD ()! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
Psalms 9:7-20 GNB ...But the LORD (יהוה) is king forever; he has set up his throne for judgment. (8) He rules the world with righteousness; he judges the nations with justice. (9) The LORD () is a refuge for the oppressed, a place of safety in times of trouble. (10) Those who know you, LORD (), will trust you; you do not abandon anyone who comes to you. (11) Sing praise to the LORD (), who rules in Zion! Tell every nation what he has done! (12) God remembers those who suffer; he does not forget their cry, and he punishes those who wrong them. (13) Be merciful to me, O LORD (יהוה)! See the sufferings my enemies cause me! Rescue me from death, O LORD (), (14) that I may stand before the people of Jerusalem and tell them all the things for which I praise you. I will rejoice because you saved me. (15) The heathen have dug a pit and fallen in; they have been caught in their own trap. (16) The LORD () has revealed himself by his righteous judgments, and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds. (17) Death is the destiny of all the wicked, of all those who reject God. (18) The needy will not always be neglected; the hope of the poor will not be crushed forever. (19) Come, LORD (יהוה)! Do not let anyone defy you! Bring the heathen before you and pronounce judgment on them. (20) Make them afraid, O LORD (); make them know that they are only mortal beings.
Psalm 9:7-20 NWT ...As for Jehovah (יהוה), he will sit to time indefinite, Firmly establishing his throne for judgment itself. 8 And he himself will judge the productive land in righteousness; He will judicially try national groups in uprightness. ? [Waw] 9 And Jehovah () will become a secure height for anyone crushed, A secure height in times of distress. 10 And those knowing your name will trust in you, For you will certainly not leave those looking for you, O Jehovah (). ? [Za´yin] 11 Make melody, YOU people, to Jehovah (), who is dwelling in Zion; Tell among the peoples his deeds. 12 For, when looking for bloodshed, he will certainly remember those very ones; He is sure not to forget the outcry of the afflicted ones. ? [Chehth] 13 Show me favor, O Jehovah (יהוה); see my affliction by those hating me, O you who are lifting me up from the gates of death, 14 In order that I may declare all your praiseworthy deeds In the gates of the daughter of Zion, That I may be joyful in your salvation. ? [Tehth] 15 The nations have sunk down into the pit that they have made; In the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. 16 Jehovah () is known by the judgment that he has executed. By the activity of his own hands the wicked one has been ensnared. Hig·ga´ion. Se´lah. ? [Yohdh] 17 Wicked people will turn back to She´ol, Even all the nations forgetting God. 18 For not always will the poor one be forgotten, Nor will the hope of the meek ones ever perish. ? [Kaph] 19 Do arise, O Jehovah ()! Let not mortal man prove superior in strength. Let the nations be judged before your face. 20 Do put fear into them, O Jehovah (יהוה), That the nations may know that they are but mortal men. Se´lah.
