Psalms 9
1 Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
6 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.
O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
