←Prev   Psalms 9 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


9:1  For the director of music. To the tune of ‘The Death of the Son’. A psalm of David. I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
9:3  My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
9:4  For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
9:5  You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:6  Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
9:7  The Lord reigns for ever; he has established his throne for judgment.
9:8  He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.
9:9  The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
9:10  Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
9:11  Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
9:12  For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
9:13  Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
9:14  that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
9:15  The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
9:16  The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
9:17  The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.
9:18  But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
9:19  Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.
9:20  Strike them with terror, Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.
