Psalm 9
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
|
|
|
|
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. I will be filled with joy because of you.
|
|
|
|
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. My enemies retreated;
|
|
|
|
they staggered and died when you appeared.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. For you have judged in my favor;
|
|
|
|
from your throne you have judged with fairness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
|
|
|
|
you have erased their names forever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. The enemy is finished, in endless ruins;
|
|
|
|
the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. But the LORD reigns forever,
|
|
|
|
executing judgment from his throne.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. He will judge the world with justice
|
|
|
|
and rule the nations with fairness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. The LORD is a shelter for the oppressed,
|
|
|
|
a refuge in times of trouble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Those who know your name trust in you,
|
|
for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.
|
|
|
|
11. Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless.
|
|
|
|
He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. LORD, have mercy on me.
|
|
|
|
See how my enemies torment me.
|
|
|
|
Snatch me back from the jaws of death.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem's gates,
|
|
|
|
so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others.
|
|
|
|
Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. The LORD is known for his justice.
|
|
The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude
|
|
|
|
17. The wicked will go down to the grave.
|
|
|
|
This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. But the needy will not be ignored forever;
|
|
|
|
the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. Arise, O LORD!
|
|
|
|
Do not let mere mortals defy you!
|
|
|
|
Judge the nations!
|
|
|
|
|
|
20. Make them tremble in fear, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude
