Psalms 9:3

9:3 When my enemies turn back,

they trip and are defeated before you.

Psalms 9:14

9:14 Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;

in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”


tn Or “perish”; or “die.” The imperfect verbal forms in this line either emphasize what typically happens or describe vividly the aftermath of a recent battle in which the Lord defeated the psalmist’s enemies.

tn Or “so that I might.”

tn Heb “all your praise.” “Praise” stands by metonymy for the mighty acts that prompt it.

sn Daughter Zion is an idiomatic title for Jerusalem. It appears frequently in the prophets, but only here in the psalms.

tn Heb “in your deliverance.”
