Psalms 9:2-17

²I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.

³I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.

⁴When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.

⁵For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.

⁶Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁷The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.

⁸But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:

⁹And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.

¹⁰And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.

¹¹And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.

¹²Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:

¹³For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.

¹⁴Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.

¹⁵Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.

¹⁶I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.

¹⁷The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
