9:1  For the director. According to Muth Labben. A psalm of David.
9:2  I will offer praise to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will recount all your wondrous deeds.
9:3  I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
9:4  For my enemies have turned back; in your presence they stumble and perish.
9:5  But you have upheld my just cause, you who are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.
9:6  You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked, erasing their name forever and ever.
9:7  The enemies have suffered endless ruin; their cities have been utterly destroyed, and not even their memory remains.
9:8  The Lord is enthroned forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
9:9  He governs the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.
9:10  The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of distress.
9:11  Those who revere your name place their trust in you, for you never abandon those who seek you, O Lord.
9:12  Sing praise to the Lord enthroned in Zion; proclaim to the nations his wondrous deeds.
9:13  For the avenger of blood remembers them; he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
9:14  Have mercy on me, O Lord; behold how my enemies afflict me, you who save me from the gates of death.
9:15  Then I will recount all your praises and rejoice in your salvation at the gates of the Daughter of Zion.
9:16  The nations have fallen into the pit they made; their feet have been caught in the snare they laid.
9:17  The Lord has made himself known and rendered judgment; the wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion, Selah
9:18  The wicked will depart into the netherworld, all the nations that turned away from God.
9:19  But the needy will not be forgotten forever, nor will the hope of the afflicted ever come to naught.
9:20  Rise up, O Lord! Do not let man triumph; let the nations be judged before you.
9:21  Strike them with fear, O Lord; let the nations know that they are mere mortals. Selah
