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
For the choir director; according to muth labben; #9:0 Or “almuth labben”; unknown musical term. a psalm by David.#9:0 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Greek, and Latin treat Psalms 9 and 10 as one psalm.
1I will give ⌞you⌟ thanks, O Lord, with all my heart.
I will tell about all the miracles you have done.
2I will find joy and be glad about you.
I will make music to praise your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies retreat, they will stumble and die in your presence.
4You have defended my just cause:
You sat down on your throne as a fair judge.
5You condemned nations.
You destroyed wicked people.
You wiped out their names forever and ever.
6The enemy is finished—in ruins forever.
You have uprooted their cities.
Even the memory of them has faded.
7Yet, the Lord is enthroned forever.
He has set up his throne for judgment.
8He alone judges the world with righteousness.
He judges ⌞its⌟ people fairly.
9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10Those who know your name trust you, O Lord,
because you have never deserted those who seek your help.
11Make music to praise the Lord, who is enthroned in Zion.
Announce to the nations what he has done.
12The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people.
He has never forgotten their cries.
13Have pity on me, O Lord.
Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me.
You take me away from the gates of death
14so that I may recite your praises one by one
in the gates of Zion
and find joy in your salvation.
15The nations have sunk into the pit they have made.
Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden ⌞to trap others⌟.
16The Lord is known by the judgment he has carried out.
The wicked person is trapped
by the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah
17Wicked people, all the nations who forget God,
will return to the grave.
18Needy people will not always be forgotten.
Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever.
19Arise, O Lord.
Do not let mortals gain any power.
Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20Strike them with terror, O Lord.
Let the nations know that they are ⌞only⌟ mortal. Selah
