Psalms 9:1-10

1 For the choir director: according to Muth-labben. ^{▼▼Perhaps a musical term} A Davidic psalm.

I will thank ^{▼▼Yahweh/Yah: Or The Lord; the personal name of God in Hebrew; "Yah" is the shortened form of the name.}Yahweh with all my heart;
I will declare all Your wonderful works. ^c
2 I will rejoice and boast about You; ^d
I will sing about Your name, ^{▼▼Most High: The Hebrew word is Elyon. It is often used with other names of God, such as El (God) or Yahweh (Lord); it is used to refer to God as the supreme being.}Most High. ^f

3 When my enemies retreat,
they stumble and perish before You. ^g
4 For You have upheld my just cause; ^{▼▼Lit my justice and my cause
,} ⁱ
You are seated on Your throne as a righteous judge. ^j
5 You have rebuked the nations: ^k
You have destroyed the wicked; ^l
You have erased their name forever and ever. ^m
6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin;
You have uprooted the cities,
and the very memory of them has perished. ⁿ

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever; ^o
He has established His throne for judgment. ^p
8 He judges the world with righteousness;
He executes judgment on the nations with fairness. ^q
9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble. ^r
10 Those who know Your name trust in You
because You have not abandoned
those who seek You, Yahweh. ^s
