Psalms 9: (ASV)
|
1) I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.
|
2) I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
|
3) When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.
|
4) For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.
|
5) Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
|
6) The 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.
|
7) But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;
|
8) And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
|
9) Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;
|
10) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
|
11) Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.
|
12) For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
|
13) Have 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;
|
14) That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
|
15) The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
|
16) Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah]
|
17) The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
|
18) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
|
19) Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
|
20) Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah]
