Psalm 9:1–12

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.
