9:1  To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

9:3  When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

9:4  For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

9:5  You have rebuked the nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

9:6  O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has perished.

9:7  But the LORD shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.

9:8  He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9:9  The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.

9:10  And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

9:11  Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people.

9:12  When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the humble.

9:13  Have mercy on me, O LORD!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,

9:14  That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in Your salvation.

9:15  The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.

9:16  The LORD is known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah

9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the nations that forget God.

9:18  For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

9:19  Arise, O LORD,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD,
That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
