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. |
