Psalms 9 / 150
- 1I will praise you, O LORD , with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.
- 2I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
- 3My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
- 4For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.
- 5You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
- 6Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
- 7The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
- 8He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.
- 9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
- 10Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD , have never forsaken those who seek you.
- 11Sing praises to the LORD , enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
- 12For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
- 13O LORD , see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
- 14that I may declare your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion and there rejoice in your salvation.
- 15The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
- 16The LORD is known by his justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion. Selah
- 17The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God.
- 18But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
- 19Arise, O LORD , let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
- 20Strike them with terror, O LORD ; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
