Psalms

Chapter 9

  • 1

    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.
