Psalms 9
1 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.
“To the chief musician upon Muthlabben, a psalm of David.” I will thank the Lord with all my heart: I will relate all thy marvelous deeds.
2 I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
I will rejoice and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High:
3 For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
When my enemies are turned backward, [when] they fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
For thou hast conducted my dispute and my cause; thou hast sat on the throne as a righteous judge.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
Thou hast rebuked nations, thou hast caused the wicked to perish, their name hast thou blotted out for ever and ever.
6 O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
O thou enemy, the ruins are passed away for ever, and the cities which thou hast destroyed, —lost is their memorial, yea, theirs.
7 But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.
8 For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.
9 The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
The Lord also will be a strong-hold for the oppressed, a strong-hold in times of distress.
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwelleth in Zion: announce among the people his deeds.
12 For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
For he, that inquireth after acts of blood, hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 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,
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; have regard to my affliction [coming] from those that hate me, thou who liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
In order that I may relate all thy praises in the gates of the daughters of Zion: I will be glad in thy salvation.
15 The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
Sunk are nations in the ditch that they have prepared: in this net which they had laid in secret is their own foot caught.
16 The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
The Lord is made known: he executed justice: through the doing of his own hands is the wicked ensnared. Higgayon, (Selah)
The wicked shall return into hell, all the nations that are forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
For not everlastingly shall the needy be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
Arise, O Lord; let not the mortal boast of his strength; let nations be judged before thy face.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
Place, O Lord, fear over them: let nations know, that they are but mortals. (Selah)
