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.

PSALM 9
1 Into the end, for the privates of the son, the psalm of David. Lord, I shall acknowledge to thee in all mine heart; I shall tell all thy marvels.
2Thou Highest, I shall be glad, and I shall be fully joyful [or full out joy] in thee; I shall sing to thy name.
3For thou turnest mine enemy aback; they shall be made feeble, and shall perish from thy face.
4For thou hast made my doom, and my cause; thou, that deemest rightfulness [or rightwiseness], hast set on the throne.
5Thou hast blamed heathen men, and the wicked perished; thou hast done away the name of them into the world, and into the world of world.
6The swords of the enemy have failed into the end; and thou hast destroyed the cities of them. The mind of them hath perished with sound;
7and the Lord dwelleth without end. He hath made ready his throne in doom;
8and he shall deem the world in equity, he shall deem peoples in rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
9And the Lord is made refuge, either help, to a poor man; an helper in covenable times in tribulation.
10And they, that know thy name, have hope in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11Sing ye [psalms] to the Lord, that dwelleth in Zion; tell ye his studies among heathen men.
12God forgetteth not the cry of poor men; for he hath mind of them, and he seeketh the blood of them.
13Lord, have thou mercy on me; see thou my meekness of mine enemies. Which enhancest me from the gates of death;
14that I tell all thy praisings in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I shall be fully joyful or joy fully in thine health;
15heathen men be fast-set in the perishing, which they made. In this snare, which they hid, the foot of them is caught.
16The Lord making dooms shall be known; the sinner is taken in the works of his hands.
17Sinners be turned altogether into hell; all folks, that forget God.
18For the forgetting of a poor man shall not be into the end; the patience of poor men shall not perish into the end.
19Lord, rise thou up, a man be not comforted; [the] folks be deemed in thy sight.
20Lord, ordain thou a law-maker upon them; know folks, that they be men.
