9:1 To the leader: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
9:2 I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
9:3 When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before you.
9:4 For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgement.
9:5 You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities you have rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
9:7 But the Lord sits enthroned for ever, he has established his throne for judgement.
9:8 He judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with equity.
9:9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
9:10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
9:11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion. Declare his deeds among the peoples.
9:12 For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
9:13 Be gracious to me, O Lord. See what I suffer from those who hate me; you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death,
9:14 so that I may recount all your praises, and, in the gates of daughter Zion, rejoice in your deliverance.
9:15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught.
9:16 The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgement; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.Higgaion. Selah
9:17 The wicked shall depart to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish for ever.
9:19 Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail; let the nations be judged before you.
9:20 Put them in fear, O Lord; let the nations know that they are only human.Selah
