Psalms 9
1 To the chief musician, To die for the Son. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks, O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful acts;2 I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will praise Your name, O Most High.3 When my enemies turn back, they will fall and perish before You.4 For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging right.5 You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have put out their name forever and ever.6 The desolations of the enemy are ended forever; and You have uprooted the cities; their memory has perished with them.7 But Jehovah is seated forever; He has established His throne for judgment.8 And He shall judge the world in righteousness; He shall judge the peoples in uprightness.9 Jehovah also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress.10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah who dwells in Zion; declare His deeds among the nations.12 For He remembers them, the seeker of bloodshed; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.13 Be gracious to me, O Jehovah; see my affliction from ones hating me, be lifting me up from the gates of death,14 so that I may declare all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in Your salvation.15 The nations have sunk into the pit they made; their foot is taken in the net they hid.16 Jehovah has been known, He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. A meditation, Selah.17 The wicked shall be turned to Sheol, all the nations forgetting God.18 For the needy shall not forever be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.19 Arise, O Jehovah! Do not let man have strength; let the nations be judged before Your face.20 O Jehovah, put fear in them; let the nations know they are but men. Selah.
