Psalms 9

VIN^{(i) 1} [To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.] I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works. ² I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. ³ When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you. ⁴ For thou hast executed my right and my cause, Thou hast sat on the throne, judging righteously: ⁵ You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. ⁶ The enemy is finished-in ruins forever. You have uprooted their cities. Even the memory of them has faded. ⁷ But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. ⁸ And he will judge the world with righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity. ⁹ the LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a place of safety in times of trouble. ¹⁰ Those who know your name will trust you, for you have not forsaken those who seek you, LORD. ¹¹ Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done. ¹² For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted. ¹³ Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death, ¹⁴ that I may declare all Your praises in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in Your salvation. ¹⁵ The nations have sunk into the pit they made; their foot is caught in the net they hid. ¹⁶ the LORD is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. ¹⁷ The wicked shall return to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God ¹⁸ for the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall never perish. ¹⁹ Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in your sight. ²⁰ Put them in fear, O LORD, let the nations know they are but men. Selah.
