Psalms 9 — Berean Standard Bible

¹ For the choirmaster. To [the tune of] “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders. ² I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. ³ When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You. ⁴ For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously. ⁵ You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever. ⁶ The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished. ⁷ But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment. ⁸ He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity. ⁹ The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. ¹⁰ Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. ¹¹ Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations. ¹² For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. ¹³ Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death, ¹⁴ that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. ¹⁵ The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. ¹⁶ The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah ¹⁷ The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God. ¹⁸ For the needy {will} not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed. ¹⁹ Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence. ²⁰ Lay terror upon them, [O LORD]; let the nations know they are but men. Selah
