Psalms - Chapter 9 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
  • 2. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
  • 3. When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence.
  • 4. For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
  • 5. You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
  • 6. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
  • 7. But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,
  • 8. and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.
  • 9. The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
  • 10. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
  • 11. Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
  • 12. For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
  • 13. Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
  • 14. that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
  • 15. The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid their own foot has been caught.
  • 16. The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
  • 17. The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
  • 18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
  • 19. Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!
  • 20. Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah.
