Psalm 9

Revised Geneva Translation

9 I will praise the LORD with my whole heart. I will speak 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 because my enemies are turned back. They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

⁴ For You have maintained my right and my cause. You are set on the Throne, and judge righteously.

⁵ You have rebuked the heathen. You have destroyed the wicked. You have put out their name forever and ever.

⁶ O enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. And you have destroyed the cities. Their memorial has perished with them.

⁷ But the LORD shall sit forever. He has prepared His throne for judgment.

⁸ For He shall judge the world in righteousness; shall judge the people with equity.

⁹ The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in time and in affliction.

¹⁰ And those who know Your Name will trust in You. For You, LORD, have not failed those who seek You.

¹¹ Sing praises to the LORD, Who dwells in Zion. Show the people His works.

¹² For when He enquires after blood, He remembers it; not forgetting the complaint of the poor.

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You Who lifts me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴ so that I may show all Your praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion and rejoice in Your salvation.

¹⁵ The heathen are sunken down in the pit they made. Their foot is taken in the net they have hidden.

¹⁶ The LORD is known by executing judgment. The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷ The wicked shall return to Hell, and all nations that forget God.

¹⁸ For the poor shall not be always forgotten. The hope of the afflicted shall not perish forever.

¹⁹ Up LORD! Do not let man prevail! Let the heathen be judged in Your sight.

²⁰ Put them in fear, O LORD, so that the heathen may know that they are but men. Selah.
