Psalms 9

Psalm 9

Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.

¹I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.

²I will rejoice and be jubilant in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

³¶When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.

⁴For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously.

⁵You have rebuked the nations, You have eliminated the wicked; You have wiped out their name forever and ever.

⁶The enemy has come to an end in everlasting ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished.

⁷¶But the Lord sits as King forever; He has established His throne for judgment,

⁸And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly.

⁹The Lord will also be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;

¹⁰And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

¹¹¶Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; Declare His deeds among the peoples.

¹²For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the needy.

¹³Be gracious to me, Lord; See my oppression from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴So that I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

¹⁵The nations have sunk down into the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

¹⁶The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah

¹⁷¶The wicked will return to Sheol, All the nations who forget God.

¹⁸For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

¹⁹Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail; Let the nations be judged before You.

²⁰Put them in fear, Lord; Let the nations know that they are merely human. Selah
