Psalms 9

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.

¹I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

²I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

³When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

⁵Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁶The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

⁷But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

⁸And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

⁹Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

¹²For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

¹³Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

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

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

¹⁶Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

¹⁹Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
