Psalm 9
I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds
1* To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben.* A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.2I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.3When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before* your presence.4For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.5You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.7But the Lord sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.10And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.11Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.13Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.16The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. *17The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.19Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!20Put them in fear, O Lord! Let the nations know that they are but men!
