9:1  For the leader; according to Muth Labben. A psalm of David.
9:2  I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will declare all your wondrous deeds.
9:3  I will delight and rejoice in you; I will sing hymns to your name, Most High.
9:4  When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.
9:5  For you upheld my right and my cause, seated on your throne, judging justly.
9:6  You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked; their name you blotted out for all time.
9:7  The enemies have been ruined forever; you destroyed their cities; their memory has perished.
9:8  The Lord rules forever, has set up his throne for judgment.
9:9  It is he who judges the world with justice, who judges the peoples with fairness.
9:10  The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
9:11  Those who know your name trust in you; you never forsake those who seek you, Lord.
9:12  Sing hymns to the Lord enthroned on Zion; proclaim his deeds among the nations!
9:13  For the avenger of bloodshed remembers, does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
9:14  Be gracious to me, Lord; see how my foes afflict me! You alone can raise me from the gates of death.
9:15  Then I will declare all your praises, sing joyously of your salvation in the gates of daughter Zion.
9:16  The nations fall into the pit they dig; in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught.
9:17  The Lord is revealed in making judgments: by the deeds they do the wicked are trapped. Higgaion. Selah
9:18  To Sheol the wicked will depart, all the nations that forget God.
9:19  For the needy will never be forgotten, nor will the hope of the afflicted ever fade.
9:20  Arise, Lord, let no mortal prevail; let the nations be judged in your presence.
9:21  Strike them with terror, Lord; show the nations they are only human. Selah
