| Chapter 9 |
1 |
Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David. --
|
2 |
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders. --
|
3 |
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high. --
|
4 |
When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face. --
|
5 |
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice. --
|
6 |
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. --
|
7 |
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise. --
|
8 |
but the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment: --
|
9 |
and he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice. --
|
10 |
And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation. --
|
11 |
And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord. --
|
12 |
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles: --
|
13 |
For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor. --
|
14 |
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies. --
|
15 |
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion. --
|
16 |
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid. --
|
17 |
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands. --
|
18 |
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God. --
|
19 |
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever. --
|
20 |
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight. --
|
21 |
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men. --
