Psalms 9

Psalms 9

1I will give thanks to You, O Lord , with my whole heart;

I will declare all Your marvelous works.

2I will be glad and rejoice in You;[#Ps 5:11]

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

3When my enemies are turned back,

they will stumble and perish at Your presence.

4For You have maintained my right and my cause;[#Ps 140:12]

You sat on the throne judging what is right.

5You have rebuked the nations,

You have destroyed the wicked,

You have wiped out their name forever and ever.

6O enemy, destructions are finished forever!

You have destroyed cities;

even the memory of them has perished.

7But the Lord remains forever;

He has established His throne for judgment.

8He will judge the world in righteousness;

He will give judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10Those who know Your name will put their trust in You,[#Ps 91:14]

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

11Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;[#Ps 76:2]

declare His deeds among the people.

12He who avenges deaths remembers them;[#Ge 9:5]

He does not forget the cry of the humble.

13Be gracious to me, O Lord ; consider my trouble from those who hate me,

O You who lifts me up from the gates of death,

14that I may recount all Your praise

in the gates of the daughter of Zion,

that I may rejoice in Your salvation.

15The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made;[#Ps 7:15–16]

their own foot is caught in the net which they hid.

16The Lord is known by the judgment that He executes;[#Ex 7:5; 14:4]

the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

17The wicked will depart to Sheol,

all the nations that forget God.

18For the needy will not always be forgotten,[#Ps 12:5]

nor will the hope of the poor perish forever.

19Arise, O Lord , may mortals not prevail;[#Ps 3:7]

let the nations be judged in Your sight.

20Put them in fear, O Lord ,

that the nations themselves may know that they are mortals. Selah
