Psalm 9, side by side

¹I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

¹I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

²I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

²I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

³When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

³When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

⁴For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

⁵You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

⁵Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

⁶The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

⁶O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

⁷But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

⁷But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

⁸He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

⁸And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

⁹The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

⁹The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

¹⁰Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, the LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

¹¹Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

¹²For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

¹²When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

¹³Have mercy on me, the LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,

¹³Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

¹⁴that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

¹⁴That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

¹⁵The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

¹⁵The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

¹⁶The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.

¹⁶The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

¹⁸For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

¹⁹Arise, the LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

¹⁹Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in fear, the LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men.

²⁰Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
