Beth
When my enemies H340 turn H7725 back H268,
They stumble H3782 and perish H6 before H4480 H6440 You.

For You have maintained H6213 my [fn]justice H4941 and my cause H1779;
You have sat H3427 on the throne H3678 [fn]judging H8199 righteously H6664.
Psa 9:5
Gimel
You have rebuked H1605 the nations H1471, You have made H6 the wicked H7563 perish H6;
You have blotted H4229 out H4229 their name H8034 forever H5769 and ever H5703.
Psa 9:6
He
[fn]The enemy H340 has come H8552 to an end H8552 in perpetual H5331 [fn]ruins H2723,

He will render H1777 justice H1777 for the peoples H3816 with equity H4339.
Psa 9:9
[fn]Yahweh H3068 also will be a stronghold H4869 for the oppressed H1790,

Psa 9:10
And [fn]those who know H3045 Your name H8034 will put H982 their trust H982 in You,

Sing H2167 praises H2167 to Yahweh H3068, who abides H3427 in Zion H6726;
Declare H5046 among the peoples H5971 His acts H5949.

For He who [fn]requires H1875 blood H1818 remembers H2142 them;
He does not forget H7911 the cry H6818 of the afflicted H6035.
Psa 9:13
Heth
Be H2603 gracious H2603 to me, O Yahweh H3068;
See H7200 my affliction H6040 from those who hate H8130 me,
You who lift H7311 me up H7311 from the gates H8179 of death H4194,
Psa 9:14
That I may recount H5608 all H3605 Your praises H8416,
That in the gates H8179 of the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726
I may rejoice H1523 in Your [fn]salvation H3444.
Psa 9:15
Teth
The nations H1471 have sunk H2883 down H2883 in the pit H7845 which they have made H6213;
In the net H7568 which H2098 they hid H2934, their own foot H7272 has been caught H3920.
Psa 9:16
Yahweh H3068 has made H3045 Himself known H3045;
He has executed H6213 judgment H4941.
In the work H6467 of his own hands H3709 the wicked H7563 is snared H5367. [fn]Higgaion H1902 [fn]Selah H5542.
Psa 9:17
Yodh
The wicked H7563 will [fn]return H7725 to Sheol H7585,
Even all H3605 the nations H1471 who H7913 forget H7913 God H430.
Psa 9:18
Kaph
For the needy H34 will not always H5331 be forgotten H7911,
Nor the hope H8615 of the afflicted H6041 perish H6 forever H5703.
Psa 9:19
Arise H6965, O Yahweh H3068, do not let man H582 prevail H5810;
Let the nations H1471 be judged H8199 before H5921 H6440 You.
Psa 9:20
Put H7896 them in fear H4172, O Yahweh H3068;
