Psalms 9:1-20

[1]I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; 

    I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.

[2]I will be filled with joy because of you. 

    I will sing praises to your name, O Most High.

[3]My enemies retreated; 

    they staggered and died when you appeared.

[4]For you have judged in my favor; 

    from your throne you have judged with fairness.

[5]You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; 

    you have erased their names forever.

[6]The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; 

    the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

[7]But the Lord reigns forever, 

    executing judgment from his throne.

[8]He will judge the world with justice 

    and rule the nations with fairness.

[9]The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, 

    a refuge in times of trouble.

[10]Those who know your name trust in you, 

    for you, O  Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

[11]Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem. 

    Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.

[12]For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. 

    He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.

[13]Lord, have mercy on me. 

    See how my enemies torment me. 

    Snatch me back from the jaws of death.

[14]Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, 

    so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.

[15]The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. 

    Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set.

[16]The Lord is known for his justice. 

    The wicked are trapped by their own deeds.Quiet Interlude

[17]The wicked will go down to the grave. 

    This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God.

[18]But the needy will not be ignored forever; 

    the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed.

[19]Arise, O  Lord! 

    Do not let mere mortals defy you! 

    Judge the nations!

[20]Make them tremble in fear, O  lord. 

    Let the nations know they are merely human.
