Psalm 9:4 New English Translation

⁴For you defended my just cause;^[a]
from your throne you pronounced a just decision.^[b]

Psalm 9:4 tn Heb “for you accomplished my justice and my legal claim.”
Psalm 9:4 tn Heb “you sat on a throne [as] one who judges [with] righteousness.” The perfect verbal forms in v. 4 probably allude to a recent victory (see vv. 5-7). Another option is to understand the verbs as describing what is typical (“you defend…you sit on a throne”).
