# Psalm 9 [[Ps-08|← Psalm 08]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-10|Psalm 10 →]] *** ###### v1 I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works. ###### v2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. ###### v3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence. ###### v4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously. ###### v5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever. ###### v6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished. ###### v7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. ###### v8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. ###### v9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble. ###### v10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you. ###### v11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done. ###### v12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted. ###### v13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death, ###### v14 that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion. ###### v15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken. ###### v16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah. ###### v17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. ###### v18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever. ###### v19 Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight. ###### v20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah. *** [[Ps-08|← Psalm 08]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-10|Psalm 10 →]]
