Psalms — Chapter 9
A messianic psalm of David—He praises the Lord for rebuking the nations—The Lord will judge the world in righteousness—He will dwell in Zion—The wicked will be sent to hell.
1
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy amarvellous works.
2
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
3
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
5
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast aput out their name for ever and ever.
6
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7
But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for ajudgment.
8
And he shall ajudge the world in brighteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
10
And they that know thy aname will put their btrust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: adeclare among the people his doings.
12
When he amaketh binquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the chumble.
13
Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy asalvation.
15
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the anet which they hid is their own foot taken.
16
The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is asnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
18
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19
Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20
Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
