| Chapter 9 |
1 |
{To the chief Musician. Upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David.} I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works. --
|
2 |
I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High. --
|
3 |
When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence: --
|
4 |
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously. --
|
5 |
Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. --
|
6 |
O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. -- Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished. --
|
7 |
But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment. --
|
8 |
And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. --
|
9 |
And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress. --
|
10 |
And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. --
|
11 |
Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings. --
|
12 |
For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten. --
|
13 |
Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death: --
|
14 |
That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation. --
|
15 |
The nations are sunk down in the pit [that] they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken. --
|
16 |
Jehovah is known [by] the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. --
|
17 |
The wicked shall be turned into Sheol, all the nations that forget God. --
|
18 |
For the needy one shall not be forgotten alway; the hope of the meek shall not perish for ever. --
|
19 |
Arise, Jehovah; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in thy sight. --
|
20 |
Put them in fear, Jehovah: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. --
