Psalms 9
- “To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.” I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
- I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
- When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
- For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
- You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
- O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.
- But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.
- He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
- The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
- And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
- Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.
- When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.
- Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
- That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
- The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
- The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah
- The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.
- For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
- Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
- Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
