Psalm
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 always 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.
