Psalms.
|
||
Chapter 9.
|
||
For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
|
||
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
|
||
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
|
||
For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
|
||
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
|
||
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
|
||
But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
|
||
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
|
||
The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
|
||
Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
|
||
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
|
||
For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
|
||
Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
|
||
that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
|
||
The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
|
||
The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
|
||
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
|
||
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
|
||
Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
|
||
Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
