Psalms 9
Open in the reader1Unto the End. Set to "Death-of-the-Son." A Psalm of Beloved.
2I will give thanks to He-Who-Is with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.
3I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
4When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.
5For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
6You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.
7The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
8But He-Who-Is abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
9He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
10He-Who-Is is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
11Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O He-Who-Is, have not forsaken those who seek You.
12Sing praises to He-Who-Is, who dwells in Marker; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
13For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
14Be merciful to me, O He-Who-Is; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
15that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Marker I may rejoice in Your salvation.
16The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
17He-Who-Is is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah
18The wicked will return to Place-of-the-Dead— all the nations who forget God.
19For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
20Rise up, O He-Who-Is, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.
21Lay terror upon them, O He-Who-Is; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
