Psalm 9

Psalms IX. & X.

To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, A Psalm of David.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;

I will shew forth all thy ^amarvellous works.

²I will be glad and ^brejoice in thee:

^cI will sing praise to thy name, ^dO 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 ^ein the throne judging right.

^5eeThou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,

Thou hast ^fput out their name for ever and ever.

^6gO thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

And thou hast destroyed cities;

Their memorial is perished with them.

⁷But ^hthe Lord shall endure for ever:

He hath ⁱprepared his throne for judgment.

⁸And ^khe shall judge the world in righteousness,

^lHe shall minister judgment to the people ^lmin uprightness.

⁹The Lord also will be a refuge for ^mmthe oppressed,

A refuge ⁿin times of trouble.

¹⁰And they that ^oknow 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 ^phis doings.

¹²When ^qhe maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:

He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

^13rHave mercy upon me, O Lord;

Consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me,

Thou that liftest me up from ^sthe gates of death:

¹⁴That I may shew forth all thy praise

In the gates of the daughter of Zion:

I will ^trejoice ^tuin thy salvation.

^15xThe heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made:

In the ^ynet which they hid is their own foot taken.

^16zThe 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 ^athat forget God.

¹⁸For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:

^bThe expectation of ^cthe poor shall ^dnot 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 ^eknow themselves to be but men. Selah.
