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
1To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes. 2I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High, 3For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence. 4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right. 5Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer. 6O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them. 7But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement. 8For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie. 9The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction. 10And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee. 11Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes. 12For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore. 13Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death, 14That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation. 15The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken. 16The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. Higgaion. Selah. 17The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God. 18For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer. 19Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight. 20Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. Selah.
