Psalms 9:1-10

¹“To the chief musician upon Muthlabben, a psalm of David.” (9:2) I will thank the Lord with all my heart: I will relate all thy marvelous deeds.

²(9:3) I will rejoice and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High:

³(9:4) When my enemies are turned backward, when they fall and perish at thy presence.

⁴(9:5) For thou hast conducted my dispute and my cause; thou hast sat on the throne as a righteous judge.

⁵(9:6) Thou hast rebuked nations, thou hast caused the wicked to perish, their name hast thou blotted out for ever and ever.

⁶(9:7) O thou enemy, the ruins are passed away for ever, and the cities which thou hast destroyed,—lost is their memorial, yea, theirs.

⁷(9:8) But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.

⁸(9:9) And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.

⁹(9:10) The Lord also will be a strong-hold for the oppressed, a strong-hold in times of distress.

¹⁰(9:11) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.
