Psalms 9
The scripture text is the public-domain World English Bible. “Diesel the Magus Version” names this study edition, comparison system, and commentary lens—not a hidden rewrite of the biblical text.
<<For the Chief Musician. Set to "The Death of the Son." A Psalm by David.>> I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death;
Have 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:
that I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
