Psalms 9 : 1 - 20
Chapter 9
1 | I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
|
2 | I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
|
3 | When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
|
4 | For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
|
5 | You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
|
6 | O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.
|
7 | But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.
|
8 | He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
|
9 | The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
|
10 | And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
|
11 | Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.
|
12 | When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.
|
13 | Have mercy on me, O LORD! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
|
14 | That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
|
15 | The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
|
16 | The LORD is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
|
17 | The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.
|
18 | For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
|
19 | Arise, O LORD, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
|
20 | Put them in fear, O LORD, That the nations may know themselves to be but men.Selah
