Psalms 9:5-15

⁵Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁶The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

⁷But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

⁸And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

⁹Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

¹²For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

¹³Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

¹⁴That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

¹⁵The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
