| Chapter 9 |
1 |
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy wonderful works. --
|
2 |
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. --
|
3 |
When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. --
|
4 |
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou sattest on the throne judging right. --
|
5 |
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put 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 hath perished with them. --
|
7 |
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. --
|
8 |
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. --
|
9 |
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. --
|
10 |
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. --
|
11 |
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. --
|
12 |
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. --
|
13 |
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: --
|
14 |
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. --
|
15 |
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. --
|
16 |
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. --
|
17 |
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. --
|
18 |
For the needy shall not always 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. --
