ASV - Psalms - 9

9:1  I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous 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 mine enemies turn back, They stumble and perish at thy presence.

9:4  For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

9:5  Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

9:6  The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

9:7  But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

9:8  And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

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

9:10  And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

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

9:12  For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

9:13  Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest 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 is their own foot taken.

9:16  Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. [Higgaion. Selah

9:17  The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.

9:18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

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
