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