Psalms - Chapter 9 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. To the tune of "The Death of the Son." A psalm of David.} I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.
  • 2. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
  • 3. My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
  • 4. For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.
  • 5. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
  • 6. Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
  • 7. The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
  • 8. He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.
  • 9. The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
  • 10. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
  • 11. Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
  • 12. For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
  • 13. O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
  • 14. that I may declare your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion and there rejoice in your salvation.
  • 15. The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
  • 16. The LORD is known by his justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion. Selah
  • 17. The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God.
  • 18. But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
  • 19. Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
  • 20. Strike them with terror, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
