Psalms 9:5-18

⁵(9-6) Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁶(9-7) O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.

⁷(9-8) But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.

⁸(9-9) And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.

⁹(9-10) The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;

¹⁰(9-11) And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.

¹¹(9-12) Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.

¹²(9-13) For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.

¹³(9-14) Be gracious unto me, O LORD, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

¹⁴(9-15) That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.

¹⁵(9-16) The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

¹⁶(9-17) The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

¹⁷(9-18) The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸(9-19) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
