Psalms 9:1-12

¹To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.

²I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,

³For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.

⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.

⁵Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.

⁶O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.

⁷But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.

⁸For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.

⁹The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.

¹⁰And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.

¹²For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
