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