9:1 I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. 9:2 I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. 9:3 When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before you. 9:4 For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgment. 9:5 You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever. 9:6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities you have rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. 9:7 But the LORD sits enthroned forever, he has established his throne for judgment. 9:8 He judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with equity. 9:9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 9:10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. 9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion. Declare his deeds among the peoples. 9:12 For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. 9:13 Be gracious to me, O LORD. See what I suffer from those who hate me; you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death, 9:14 so that I may recount all your praises, and, in the gates of daughter Zion, rejoice in your deliverance. 9:15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught. 9:16 The LORD has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.Higgaion. Selah 9:17 The wicked shall depart to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. 9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever. 9:19 Rise up, O LORD! Do not let mortals prevail; let the nations be judged before you. 9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD; let the nations know that they are only human.Selah 9:21
