Psalms 9
For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
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.13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;14That I may show forth all thy praise.In the gates of the daughter of ZionI will rejoice in thy salvation.15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.16Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.[Higgaion. Selah17The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,Even all the nations that forget God.18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.19Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:Let the nations be judged in thy sight.20Put them in fear, O Jehovah:Let the nations know themselves to be but men.[Selah
