ACV - Psalms - 9

9:1  I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.

9:2  I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.

9:3  When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.

9:4  For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.

9:5  Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.

9:6  The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,

9:7  but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,

9:8  and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.

9:9  Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.

9:10  And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

9:11  Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.

9:12  For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.

9:13  Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death

9:14  that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

9:15  The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

9:16  Jehovah has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

9:17  Wicked men shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.

9:18  For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.

9:19  Arise, O Jehovah, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

9:20  Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah.
