Psalms 9

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. ²I will be glad and exult in thee; I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High. ³When mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence. ⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously. ⁵Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever. ⁶The 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. ⁷But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment; ⁸And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness. ⁹Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble; ¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. ¹¹Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. ¹²For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor. ¹³Have 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; ¹⁴That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation. ¹⁵The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. ¹⁶Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah ¹⁷The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. ¹⁸For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever. ¹⁹Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight. ²⁰Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. [Selah
