Psalm 9:20
Hebrew Bible
17 The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God, 18 for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed. 19 Rise up, Lord! Don’t let men be defiant. May the nations be judged in your presence. 20 Terrify them, Lord. Let the nations know they are mere mortals. (Selah)

LXX Psalm 9:20
Septuagint
17 The Lord is known as the one making judgments; the sinful one is caught in the works of his hands. 18 Let the sinners be turned back into Hades, all the nations that forget God. 19 For the poor one will not be completely forgotten. The endurance of the poor ones will not perish for eternity. 20 Rise up, O Lord. Do not let a person be strengthened. Let the nations be judged before you.

The Septuagint, Vulgate, and Syriac all read “place a lawgiver or master over them.” So the Syriac has “law.” Hitzig conjectures, “set a guard upon them.” With the present reading apparently the rendering should be, put a terror upon them: i.e., “give such a proof of power as to trouble and subdue them.” ..."
