9:1  To the choirmaster: according to Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds.
9:2  I will be glad and exult in thee, I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High.
9:3  When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before thee.
9:4  For thou hast maintained my just cause; thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.
9:5  Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:6  The enemy have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities thou hast rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
9:7  But the Lord sits enthroned for ever, he has established his throne for judgment;
9:8  and he judges the world with righteousness, he judges the peoples with equity.
9:9  The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
9:10  And those who know thy name put their trust in thee, for thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek thee.
9:11  Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
9:12  For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
9:13  Be gracious to me, O Lord! Behold what I suffer from those who hate me, O thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,
9:14  that I may recount all thy praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in thy deliverance.
9:15  The nations have sunk in the pit which they made; in the net which they hid has their own foot been caught.
9:16  The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.Higgaion. Selah
9:17  The wicked shall depart to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
9:18  For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
9:19  Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before thee!
9:20  Put them in fear, O Lord! Let the nations know that they are but men!Selah
