# Psalm 9 To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
