< Psalms 9 >

1 To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvelous works.
2 I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
3 For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
When my enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
6 O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
7 But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
13 Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
Have mercy on me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
