9:1  To the Chief Musician. "To die for 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 have turned back, they shall fall and perish before You,

9:4  For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat upon the throne giving righteous judgment.

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

9:6  Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, You have uprooted the cities, the memory of them has perished.

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

9:8  And He shall judge the world in righteousness; He shall govern the people with justice.

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 among the nations His deeds.

9:12  For He Who avenges blood remembers them; He forgets not the cry of the humble.

9:13  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

9:14  So that I may declare 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 grave that they made; their own foot is caught in the net which they hid.

9:16  The LORD has made Himself known. He has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Selah.

9:17  The wicked shall be turned into the grave, 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; let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD, let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.
