9:1  I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the wonderful things you have done.
9:2  I will sing with joy because of you. I will sing praise to you, Almighty God.
9:3  My enemies turn back when you appear; they fall down and die.
9:4  You are fair and honest in your judgments, and you have judged in my favor.
9:5  You have condemned the heathen and destroyed the wicked; they will be remembered no more.
9:6  Our enemies are finished forever; you have destroyed their cities, and they are completely forgotten.
9:7  But the Lord is king forever; he has set up his throne for judgment.
9:8  He rules the world with righteousness; he judges the nations with justice.
9:9  The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a place of safety in times of trouble.

9:11  Sing praise to the Lord, who rules in Zion! Tell every nation what he has done!
9:12  God remembers those who suffer; he does not forget their cry, and he punishes those who wrong them.
9:13  Be merciful to me, O Lord! See the sufferings my enemies cause me! Rescue me from death, O Lord,
9:14  that I may stand before the people of Jerusalem and tell them all the things for which I praise you. I will rejoice because you saved me.
9:15  The heathen have dug a pit and fallen in; they have been caught in their own trap.
9:16  The Lord has revealed himself by his righteous judgments, and the wicked are trapped by their own deeds.
