Psalms 9

1 For the end, a Psalm of David, concerning the secrets of the Son. I will give thanks toyou, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all your wonderful works.
2 I will be glad and exult in you: I will sing to your name, O you Most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at your presence.
4 For you have maintained my cause and my right; you sat on the throne, that judgerighteousness.
5 You have rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; you have blottedout their name for ever, even for ever and ever.
6 The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and you have destroyed cities: theirmemorial has been destroyed with a noise,
7 but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
9 The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
10 And let them that know your name hope in you: for you, O Lord, have not failedthem that diligently seek you.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
12 For he remembered them,in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my afflictionwhich I suffer of mine enemies, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 that I may declare all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I willexult in your salvation.
15 The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snarewhich they hid is their foot taken.
16 The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works ofhis hands. A song of Pause.
17 Let sinners be driven away into Hades,even all the nations that forget God.
18 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shallnot perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged before you.
20 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: let the heathen know that they are men.Pause.
