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