Psalms 9
Reading Psalms chapter 9 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvellous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgement.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgement to the peoples in uprightness.
9 The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
