Psalms - Chapter 9 | American Standard Version

  • 1. For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
  • 2. I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
  • 3. When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
  • 4. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
  • 5. Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
  • 6. The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.
  • 7. But Jehovah sitteth {cf15i as king} for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
  • 8. And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
  • 9. Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
  • 10. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
  • 11. Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
  • 12. For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
  • 13. Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction {cf15i which I suffer} of 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 nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
  • 16. Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. {cf15i Higgaion. Selah.}
  • 17. The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
  • 18. For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
  • 19. Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
  • 20. Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. {cf15i Selah.}
