Psalms 9

¹To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.

²I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,

³For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.

⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.

⁵Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.

⁶O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.

⁷But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.

⁸For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.

⁹The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.

¹⁰And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.

¹²For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.

¹³Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,

¹⁴That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.

¹⁵The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.

¹⁶The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.

¹⁹Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. Selah.

¹I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

²I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

³When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

⁵Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

⁶O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

⁷But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

⁸And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

⁹The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

¹²When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

¹³Have 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:

¹⁴That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

¹⁵The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

¹⁶The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

¹⁹Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
