Praying Psalm 9

I praise You Adonai, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvellous things You have done for me. I am filled with joy because of You. I sing praises to Your Name, O Most High. My enemies retreated; they stagger and die when You appear. For You judge in my favour; from Your throne You judge with fairness. You rebuke the nations and destroy the wicked; You erase their names forever. The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uproot will be forgotten. But You my Adonai, will reign forever, executing judgment from Your throne. You will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. You my Adonai are my Shelter when I am oppressed and a Refuge in times of my trouble. I, who know Your Name trust in You, for You Adonai, will not abandon me who search for You. I sing praises to You Adonai, Who reigns in my heart. I will tell the world about Your unforgettable deeds. For You Who avenges murder cares for us, for we are helpless. You do not ignore the cries of us who suffers. Adonai, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death. Save me so I can praise You publicly in all the world, from the South to the North and from the East to the West, so I can rejoice that You have rescued me. The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set. My Adonai, You will be known for Your justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore You O Great YHVH. But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed. Arise, Adonai! Do not let mere mortals defy You! Judge the nations! Make them tremble in fear, Adonai. Let the nations know they are merely human. Amein.
