PSALM 9
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben,
A Psalm of David.
1Lord, thee I'll praise with all my heart,
thy wonders all proclaim.
2In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy,
and sing unto thy name.
3When back my foes were turn'd, they fell,
and perish'd at thy sight:
4For thou maintain'dst my right and cause;
on throne sat'st judging right.
5The heathen thou rebuked hast,
the wicked overthrown;
Thou hast put out their names, that they
may never more be known.
6O en'my! now destructions have
an end perpetual:
Thou cities raz'd; perish'd with them
is their memorial.
7God shall endure for aye; he doth
for judgment set his throne;
8In righteousness to judge the world,
justice to give each one.
9God also will a refuge be
for those that are oppress'd;
A refuge will he be in times
of trouble to distress'd.
10And they that know thy name, in thee
their confidence will place:
For thou hast not forsaken them
that truly seek thy face.
11O sing ye praises to the Lord,
that dwells in Sion hill;
And all the nations among
his deeds record ye still.
12When he enquireth after blood,
he then rememb'reth them:
The humble folk he not forgets
that call upon his name.
13Lord, pity me; behold the grief
which I from foes sustain;
Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death
dost raise me up again;
14That I, in Sion's daughters' gates,
may all thy praise advance;
And that I may rejoice always
in thy deliverance.
15The heathen are sunk in the pit
which they themselves prepar'd;
And in the net which they have hid
their own feet fast are snar'd.
16The Lord is by the judgment known
which he himself hath wrought:
The sinners' hands do make the snares
wherewith themselves are caught.
17They who are wicked into hell
each one shall turned be;
And all the nations that forget
to seek the Lord most high.
18For they that needy are shall not
forgotten be alway;
The expectation of the poor
shall not be lost for aye.
19Arise, Lord, let not man prevail;
judge heathen in thy sight:
20That they may know themselves but men,
the nations, Lord, affright.

Psalms 9
9
Thanksgiving for Victory
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A song of David.
1I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart.
I will tell all the miracles you have done.
2I will be happy because of you.
God Most High, I will sing praises to your name.
3My enemies turn back.
They are overwhelmed and die because of you.
4You have heard what I complained to you about.
You sat on your throne and judged by what was right.
5You spoke strongly against the foreign nations
and destroyed the wicked people.
You wiped out their names forever and ever.
6The enemy is gone forever.
You destroyed their cities.
No one even remembers them.
7But the Lord rules forever.
He sits on his throne to judge.
8The Lord will judge the world by what is right.
He will decide what is fair for the nations.
9The Lord defends those who suffer.
He protects them in times of trouble.
10Those who know the Lord trust him.
He will not leave those who come to him.
11Sing praises to the Lord who is king on Mount Zion.
Tell the nations what he has done.
12He remembers who the murderers are.
He will not forget the cries of those who suffer.
13Lord, be kind to me.
See how my enemies hurt me.
Do not let me go through the gates of death.
14Then, at the gates of Jerusalem, I will praise you.
I will rejoice because you saved me.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they dug.
Their feet are caught in the nets they laid.
16The Lord has made himself known by his fair decisions.
The wicked get trapped by what they do. Higgaion. Selah
17Wicked people will go to the grave.
So will all those who forget God.
18Those who have troubles will not be forgotten.
The hopes of the poor will not die.
19Lord, rise up and judge the nations.
Don’t let humans think they are strong.
20Teach them to fear you, Lord.
The nations must learn that they are only human. Selah
