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