9:1  I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.

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

9:3  My enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.

9:4  For you have upheld my right and my cause;
you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.

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

9:6  Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.

9:7  The LORD reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.

9:8  He will judge the world in righteousness;
he will govern the peoples with justice.

9:9  The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.

9:10  Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

9:11  Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.

9:12  For he who avenges blood remembers;
he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

9:13  O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

9:14  that I may declare your praises
in the gates of the Daughter of Zion
and there rejoice in your salvation.

9:15  The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

9:16  The LORD is known by his justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
Higgaion. Selah

9:17  The wicked return to the grave,
all the nations that forget God.

9:18  But the needy will not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.

9:19  Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph;
let the nations be judged in your presence.

9:20  Strike them with terror, O LORD;
let the nations know they are but men.
Selah
