Tehillim 9 - Chapter 9 - Psalm 9

Lamnatsêach al mut Laben mizmor ledavid
Odê Adonai bechol libi, assaperá col nifleotêcha
Esmechá veeeltsá vach, azamera shimchá elion
Beshuv oievai achor, yicashelú veiovedú mipanêcha
Ki assita mishpati vedini, iashavta lechisse shofet tsédec
Gaárta goyim, ibadta rashá, shemam machita leolam vaed
Haoiev tamu choravót lanétsach, vearim natashta, avad zich’ram hema
Vadonai leolam ieshev, conen lamishpat kis’o
Vehu yishpot tevel betsédec, iadin leumim bemesharim
Vihi Adonai misgav ladach, misgav leitot batsará
Veyiv’techú vechá iodeê shemêcha, ki lo azavta doreshêcha Adonai
Zamerú ladonai ioshev Tsión, haguídu vaamim alilotav
Ki doresh damim otam zachar, lo shachach tsaacat anavim
Choneneni Adonai, ree onyi missoneai, meromemi mishaarê mávet
Lemaan assaperá col tehilatêcha beshaarê vat Tsión, aguila bishuatêcha
Taveú goyim beshachat assu, beréshet zu tamanu nilkeda raglam
Nodá Adonai mishpat assá, befoal capav nokesh rashá, higaion sêla
Iashuvu reshaim lish’ola, col goyim shechechê Elohim
Ki lo lanétsach yishachach evion, tic’vat aniyim tovad laad
Cuma Adonai al iaoz enósh, yishafetu goyim al panêcha
Shita Adonai morá lahem, iedeú goyim enósh hema sêla

1. To the chief Musician, on the death of Labben, A Psalm of David.
2. I will praise you O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all your marvelous works.
3. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
4. When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
5. For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
6. You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked, you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
7. The enemies have come to an end, in perpetual ruins; for you have destroyed the cities; their memorial is perished.
8. But the Lord shall endure for ever; he has prepared his throne for judgment.
9. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
10. The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
11. And those who know your name will put their trust in you; for you, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
12. Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; declare his acts among the people.
13. For he avenges blood, he remembers it; he does not forgets the cry of the humble.
14. Be gracious to me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer from those who hate me, you who lift me up from the gates of death;
15. That I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in your salvation.
16. The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; their own foot is trapped in the net which they hid.
17. The Lord is known by the judgment which he executes; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
18. The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, and all the nations that forget God.
19. For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
20. Arise, O Lord; do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in your sight.
21. Put them in fear, O Lord; that the nations may know themselves to be only men. Selah.

For a child who is crying, For Protection Against Enemies

One should praise God for saving him from the hand of the enemy who stands over and agonizes him, and for His judging each person according to his deeds: the righteous according to their righteousness, and the wicked according to their wickedness.
