CHAPTER 9

For the choirmaster.

To the tune of “The Death of the Son.”

A Psalm

of David.

I will give thanks

to the LORD

with all

my heart;

I will recount

all

Your wonders.

I will be glad

and rejoice in You;

I will sing praise

to Your name,

O Most High.

When my enemies

retreat,

they stumble

and perish

before You.

For

You have upheld

my just

cause;

You sit

on Your throne

judging

righteously.

You have rebuked

the nations;

You have destroyed

the wicked;

You have erased

their name

forever

and ever.

The enemy

has come to eternal

ruin,

and You have uprooted

their cities;

the very memory

of them

has vanished.

But the LORD

abides

forever;

He has established

His throne

for judgment.

He

judges

the world

with justice;

He will govern

the people

with equity.

The LORD

is

a refuge

for the oppressed,

a stronghold

in times

of trouble.

Those who know

Your name

will trust

in You,

for

You, O LORD,

have not

abandoned

those who seek You.

Sing praises

to the LORD,

who dwells

in Zion;

proclaim

His deeds

among the nations.

For

the Avenger

of bloodshed

remembers;

He does not ignore

the cry

of the afflicted.

Be merciful to me,

O LORD;

see

how my enemies

afflict me!

Snatch me

from the gates

of death,

that

I may declare

all

Your praises—

that within the gates

of Daughter

Zion

I may rejoice

in Your salvation.

The nations

have fallen

into a pit

of their making;

their feet

are snared

in the net

they have hidden.

The LORD

is known

by the justice

He brings;

the wicked

are ensnared

by the work

of their hands.

Higgaion

Selah

The wicked

will return

to Sheol—

all

the nations

who forget

God.

For

the needy

will not

always

be forgotten;

nor the hope

of the oppressed

forever

dashed.

Rise up,

O LORD,

let not

man

prevail;

let the nations

be judged

in

Your presence.

Lay

terror

upon them, O LORD;

let the nations

know

they

are but men.

Selah
