9:1 |
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. |
9:2 |
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. |
9:3 |
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. |
9:4 |
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. |
9:5 |
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. |
9:6 |
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. |
9:7 |
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. |
9:8 |
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. |
9:9 |
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. |
9:10 |
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. |
9:11 |
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. |
9:12 |
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. |
9:13 |
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: |
9:14 |
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
9:15 |
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. |
9:16 |
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. |
9:17 |
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. |
9:18 |
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. |
9:19 |
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. |
9:20 |
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. |
