Psalm 9
1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at
thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne
for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among
the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net
which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked
is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that
forget God.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in
thy sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves
to be but men. Selah.
