Chapter 9

1


 

  To the chief music-maker on Muthlabben. A Psalm. Of David.
I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.  

 

 

--

2


 

  I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.  

 

 

--

3


 

  When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.  

 

 

--

5


 

  You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.  

 

 

--

6


 

  You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.  

 

 

--

7


 

  But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.  

 

 

--

8


 

  And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.  

 

 

--

9


 

  The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;  

 

 

--

10


 

  And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.  

 

 

--

12


 

  When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;  

 

 

--

14


 

  So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.  

 

 

--

15


 

  The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)  

 

 

--

17


 

  The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.  

 

 

--

18


 

  For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah.)
