Psalms9

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

² I 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.

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

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

⁶ The 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,

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

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

¹⁰ And 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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁶ The 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.

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

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

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