Psalms - Chapter 9 - A Conservative Version
- I will give thanks to LORD with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
- I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
- When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
- For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
- Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
- The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,
- but LORD will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
- and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
- LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
- And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
- Sing praises to LORD, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
- For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
- Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death
- that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
- The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
- LORD has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
- Wicked men shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
- For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
- Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
- Put them in fear, O LORD. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah.
