Psalms 9:6-20

⁶O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. — Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

⁷But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

⁸And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

⁹And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.

¹⁰And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.

¹²For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.

¹³Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

¹⁴That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.

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

¹⁶Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever.

¹⁹Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
