Psalm 9
To the Overcomer upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.
1¶ I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all thy marvellous works.
2I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High
3because my enemies are turned back; they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4For thou hast accomplished my judgment and my cause; thou didst sit in the throne judging according to righteousness.
5Thou hast reprehended the Gentiles, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and the cities that thou hast destroyed; their memorial is perished with them.
7But the Lord shall endure for ever; he has prepared his throne for judgment.
8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall judge the peoples in uprightness.
9The Lord also will be a refuge to the humble, a refuge for the time of trouble.
10And those that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those that seek thee.
11¶ Sing unto the Lord, he who dwells in Zion; declare among the people his doings.
12When he makes requirement for blood, he remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the humble.
13Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer from those that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14that I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy saving health.
15The Gentiles are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid their own foot is taken.
16The Lord is known by the judgment which he has executed; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion (meditate on this for ever). Selah.
17The wicked shall be put into Sheol, all the Gentiles that forget God.
18For the humble shall not always be forgotten: the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
20Put fear into them, O Lord: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalm 9
9
I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds
# 9:1 Psalms 9 and 10 together follow an acrostic pattern, each stanza beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the Septuagint they form one psalm To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben.#9:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term A Psalm of David.
1I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your #Ps. 26:7; 40:5; 96:3; 105:5wonderful deeds.
2I will be glad and #Ps. 5:11 exult in you;
I will #Ps. 7:17 sing praise to your name, #See Ps. 83:18O Most High.
3When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish before#9:3 Or because of your presence.
4For you have #Ps. 140:12 maintained my just cause;
you have #Ps. 29:10sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5You have #Ps. 68:30 rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
you have #Deut. 9:14; 29:20; [Prov. 10:7]blotted out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
their cities you rooted out;
the very memory of them has perished.
7But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
he has established his throne for justice,
8and he #Ps. 58:11; 96:13; 98:9 judges the world with righteousness;
he #Ps. 96:10judges the peoples with uprightness.
9The Lord is #2 Sam. 22:3; [Prov. 18:10] a stronghold for #Ps. 10:18; 74:21 the oppressed,
a stronghold in #Ps. 10:1times of trouble.
10And those who #Ps. 91:14know your name put their trust in you,
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11Sing praises to the Lord, who #Ps. 76:2 sits enthroned in Zion!
Tell among the peoples his #Ps. 77:12; [Ps. 107:22]deeds!
12For he who #Gen. 9:5; [Ps. 10:13]; See 1 Kgs. 21:17-19 avenges blood is mindful of them;
he #ver. 18; Ps. 10:12; [Ps. 12:5]does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 #
Ps. 4:1 Be gracious to me, O Lord!
See my affliction from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from #See Job 38:17the gates of death,
14that I may recount all your praises,
that in the gates of #2 Kgs. 19:21; Isa. 37:22 the daughter of Zion
I may #Ps. 13:5; 20:5; 21:1; 35:9; 1 Sam. 2:1rejoice in your salvation.
15The nations have sunk in #See Ps. 7:15 the pit that they made;
in #See Job 18:8the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The Lord has made himself #Ex. 7:5; 14:4known; he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.#9:16 Probably a musical or liturgical term Selah
17The wicked shall #[Gen. 3:19] return to Sheol,
all the nations that #Ps. 50:22; Job 8:13; Isa. 51:13forget God.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
and #[Prov. 23:18; 24:14]the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 # See Ps. 3:7 Arise, O Lord! Let not #[Ps. 10:18]man prevail;
let the nations be judged before you!
20Put them in fear, O Lord!
Let the nations know that they are but #[See ver. 19 above]men! Selah
