Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

9:1

For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son.

—

9:2

I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.

—

9:3

I will be glad and exult in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou Most High.

—

9:4

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.

—

9:5

For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.

—

9:6

Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.

—

9:7

The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,

—

9:8

but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

—

9:9

And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.

—

9:10

The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.

—

9:11

And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.

—

9:12

Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.

—

9:13

For he remembered them, [in] making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.

—

9:14

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction [which I suffer] of mine enemies, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

—

9:15

that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in thy salvation.

—

9:16

The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.

—

9:17

The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause.

—

9:18

Let sinners be driven away into Hades, [even] all the nations that forget God.

—

9:19

For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.

—

9:20

Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before thee.

—

9:21

Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men. Pause.

—

9:22

Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?

—

9:23

While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.

—

9:24

Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.

—

9:25

The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.

—

9:26

His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.

—

9:27

For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.

—

9:28

Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.

—

9:29

He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.

—

9:30

He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.

—

9:31

He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.

—

9:32

For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.

—

9:33

Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.

—

9:34

Wherefore has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].

—

9:35

Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.

—

9:36

Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.

—

9:37

The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out of his land.

—

9:38

The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;

—

9:39

to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
