Psalms 9:1-16
-
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.
