# Chapter 9
|
|
1 I will thank the Lord with all my heart;
|
|
I will declare all your wondrous works.
|
|
2 I will rejoice and boast about you;
|
|
I will sing about your name, Most High.
|
|
3 When my enemies retreat,
|
|
they stumble and perish before you.
|
|
4 For you have upheld my just cause;
|
|
you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.
|
|
5 You have rebuked the nations:
|
|
You have destroyed the wicked;
|
|
you have erased their name forever and ever.
|
|
6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin;
|
|
you have uprooted the cities,
|
|
and the very memory of them has perished.
|
|
7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
|
|
he has established his throne for judgment.
|
|
8 And he judges the world with righteousness;
|
|
he executes judgment on the nations with fairness.
|
|
9 The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted,
|
|
a refuge in times of trouble.
|
|
10 Those who know your name trust in you
|
|
because you have not abandoned
|
|
those who seek you, Lord.
|
|
11 Sing to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
|
|
proclaim his deeds among the nations.
|
|
12 For the one who seeks an accounting
|
|
for bloodshed remembers them;
|
|
he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.
|
|
13 Be gracious to me, Lord;
|
|
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.
|
|
Lift me up from the gates of death,
|
|
14 so that I may declare all your praises.
|
|
I will rejoice in your salvation
|
|
within the gates of Daughter Zion.
|
|
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they made;
|
|
their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.
|
|
16 The Lord has made himself known;
|
|
he has executed justice,
|
|
snaring the wicked
|
|
by the work of their hands.Higgaion. Selah
|
|
17 The wicked will return to Sheol—
|
|
all the nations that forget God.
|
|
18 For the needy will not always be forgotten;
|
|
the hope of the oppressed will not perish forever.
|
|
19 Rise up, Lord! Do not let mere humans prevail;
|
|
let the nations be judged in your presence.
|
|
20 Put terror in them, Lord;
|
|
let the nations know they are only humans. Selah |
