9:1 I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. |
9:2 I will have gladness and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. |
9:3 When my enemies turn back,they stumble and perish before You. |
9:4 For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously. |
9:5 You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. |
9:6 The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, and You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. |
9:7 But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, |
9:8 And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. |
9:9 The LORD also will serve as a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble; |
9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. |
9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His deeds. |
9:12 For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted. |
9:13 Show graciousness to me, O LORD; See my affliction from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, |
9:14 That I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. |
9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot became caught. |
9:16 The LORD has made Himself known; He has executed judgment.In the work of his own hands the wicked ensnare themselves. Higgaion Selah. |
9:17 The wicked will return to Sheol, even all the nations who forget God. |
9:18 For the needy will not always remain forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. |
9:19 Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail; judge the nations before You. |
9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD; Let the nations know that they consist of mortal men. Selah. |
