Psalms 9:1-8

¹For the leader; 'almuth labben. A psalm of David. With all my heart I will praise the Lord, all your wonders I will rehearse.

²I will rejoice and exult in you, singing praise to your name, Most High;

³because backward my foes were turned, they stumbled and perished before you.

⁴My right and my claim you have upheld, you did sit on the throne as a fair judge,

⁵rebuking the nations, destroying the wicked, and blotting their name out forever and ever.

⁶The foe is vanished, ruined forever, their cities destroyed, their memory perished.

⁷See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment,

⁸ruling the world with justice, and judging the nations with equity.
