Psalms 9
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.
To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
3 When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.
For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
4 For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
5 You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
7 But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8 He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
10 Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
12 For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
13 Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
14 that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
15 The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
16 The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
19 Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.
Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
20 Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men.
Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
