psalms 9

1 - I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart.I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2 - I will be glad and rejoice in you.I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 - When my enemies turn back,they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 - For you have maintained my just cause.You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 - You have rebuked the nations.You have destroyed the wicked.You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 - The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin.The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 - But the LORD reigns forever.He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 - He will judge the world in righteousness.He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 - The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed;a high tower in times of trouble.
10 - Those who know your name will put their trust in you,for you, The LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 - Sing praises to The LORD, who dwells in Zion,and declare among the people what he has done.
12 - For he who avenges blood remembers them.He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 - Have mercy on me, The LORD.See my affliction by those who hate me,and lift me up from the gates of death;
14 - that I may show all of your praise.In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 - The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made.In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16 - The LORD has made himself known.He has executed judgment.The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.Meditation. Selah.
17 - The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,even all the nations that forget God.
18 - For the needy shall not always be forgotten,nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19 - Arise, The LORD! Don't let man prevail.Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20 - Put them in fear, The LORD.Let the nations know that they are only men.Selah.
