Psalms 9
1 [For the choir director; according to Muth-labben. A Psalm by David.] I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
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 turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
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 the 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 blotted out 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 is overtaken by endless ruin; and the very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
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 reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
9 The LORD will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
10 And those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, 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, and declare among the people what he has done.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
12 For he who takes revenge against murderers remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
13 Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me. You 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 so that I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will 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 the pit they had made. In the net which they hid, their feet are caught.
The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
16 The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
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 shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
19 Arise, 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 Terrify them, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
