1 (9-1) For the Leader; upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. (9-2) I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
2 (9-3) I will be glad and exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
3 (9-4) When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;
4 (9-5) For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
5 (9-6) Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 (9-7) O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.
7 (9-8) But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
8 (9-9) And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
9 (9-10) The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
10 (9-11) And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
11 (9-12) Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.
12 (9-13) For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
13 (9-14) Be gracious unto me, O LORD, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14 (9-15) That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
15 (9-16) The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 (9-17) The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
17 (9-18) The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget God.
18 (9-19) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 (9-20) Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
20 (9-21) Set terror over them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
