Psalm 9:title–20

To the Chief Musician. To The Tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.

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

I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

²I will be glad and ^arejoice in You;

I will sing praise to Your name, ^bO Most High.

³When my enemies turn back,

They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

⁴For You have maintained my right and my cause;

You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

⁵You have rebuked the ²nations,

You have destroyed the wicked;

You have ^cblotted out their name forever and ever.

⁶O enemy, destructions are finished forever!

And you have destroyed cities;

Even their memory has ^dperished.

^7eBut the Lord shall endure forever;

He has prepared His throne for judgment.

^8fHe shall judge the world in righteousness,

And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

⁹The Lord also will be a ^grefuge ³for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

¹⁰And those who ^hknow Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!

ⁱDeclare His deeds among the people.

^12jWhen He avenges blood, He remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the ⁴humble.

¹³Have mercy on me, O Lord!

Consider my trouble from those who hate me,

You who lift me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴That I may tell of all Your praise

In the gates of ⁵the daughter of Zion.

I will ^krejoice in Your salvation.

^15lThe ⁶nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;

In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.

¹⁶The Lord is ^mknown by the judgment He executes;

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

Selah

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned into hell,

And all the ⁸nations ^othat forget God.

^18pFor the needy shall not always be forgotten;

^qThe expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

¹⁹Arise, O Lord,

Do not let man prevail;

Let the ⁹nations be judged in Your sight.

²⁰Put them in fear, O Lord,

That the ¹nations may know themselves to be but men.
