Psalms 9:5-20
-
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.
