| Chapter 9
|
1 | 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. |
