| Chapter 9 |
| 1 | I will praise thee, O LORD,
with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous 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 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 is 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,
which 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 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 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 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. |
