Psalmen 9
- 1For the Leader; upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.
- 2I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
- 3I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
- 4When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;
- 5For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
- 6Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
- 7O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.
- 8But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
- 9And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
- 10The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
- 11And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
- 12Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.
- 13For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
- 14Be gracious unto me, O LORD, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
- 15That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
- 16The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
- 17The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
- 18The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget God.
- 19For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
- 20Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
- 21Set terror over them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
