Psalms 9

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

2 Ref I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

3 Ref When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

4 Ref For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

5 Ref Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 Ref The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

7 Ref But Jehovah sitteth `as king' for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

8 Ref And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9 Ref Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

10 Ref And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Ref Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

12 Ref For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

13 Ref Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction `which I suffer' of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

14 Ref That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 Ref The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 Ref Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah

17 Ref The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

18 Ref For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

19 Ref Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

20 Ref Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah
