Psalm 9

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

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

I will shew forth all thy amarvellous works.

2  I will be glad and brejoice in thee:

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

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

Thou hast fput out their name for ever and ever.

6  g||O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

And thou hast destroyed cities;

Their memorial is perished with them.

7  But hthe Lord shall endure for ever:

He hath iprepared his throne for judgment.

8  And khe shall judge the world in righteousness,

lHe shall minister judgment to the people lmin uprightness.

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

†A refuge nin times of trouble.

10  And they that oknow 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 phis doings.

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

He forgetteth not the cry of the ||humble.

13  rHave 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:

14  That I may shew forth all thy praise

In the gates of the daughter of Zion:

I will trejoice tuin thy salvation.

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

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

16  zThe 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 athat forget God.

18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten:

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