Psalm 9 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ {\b For the Chief Musician; set to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;\par\tab I will show forth all thy marvellous works.

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

³ When mine enemies turn back,\par\tab They stumble and perish at thy presence.

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

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

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

⁷ But Jehovah sitteth {\i as king} for ever:\par\tab He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

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

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

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

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

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

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;\par\tab Behold my affliction {\i which I suffer} of them that hate me,\par\tab Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰ Put them in fear, O Jehovah:\par\tab Let the nations know themselves to be but men. {\i Selah\par
