Psalms 9:6-20

⁶O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.

⁷But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.

⁸For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.

⁹The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.

¹⁰And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.

¹²For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.

¹³Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,

¹⁴That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.

¹⁵The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.

¹⁶The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.

¹⁹Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. Selah.
