“1 <<To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.>> I will
praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy
marvellous works. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing
praise to thy name, O thou most High. 3 When mine enemies are turned
back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 4 For thou hast
maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging
right. 5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6 O thou enemy,
destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed
cities; their memorial is perished with them. 7 But the LORD shall
endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And he
shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to
the people in uprightness. 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the
oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that know thy name
will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them
that seek thee.”
“11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among
the people his doings. 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he
remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 13 Have mercy
upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer] of them that hate
me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 That I may shew
forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will
rejoice in thy salvation. 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that]
they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The
LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is
snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked
shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. 18 For
the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor
shall [not] perish for ever. 19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let
the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20 Put them in fear, O LORD: [that]
the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah.” (Psalm 9:1-20
AV)
