PSALM 9
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
[2] I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
[3] When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
[4] For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. [5] Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
 [6] O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
 [7] But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
[8] And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
[9] The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
 [10] And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord , hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
 [11] Sing praises to the Lord , which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. [12] When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
[13] Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
[14] That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
 [15] The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
 [16] The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
 [17] The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
 [18] For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
[19] Arise, O Lord ; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
[20] Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
