Psalms of David 9
9
Confitebor tibi, Domine.
Psalm IX.
T. S.
1With heart and mouth unto the Lord
will I sing laud and praise:
And speak of all thy wondrous works,
and then declare always.
2I will be glad and much rejoice
in thee, O God most high,
And make my songs extol thy Name
above the starry sky.
3Because my foes are driven back,
and turned unto flight:
They fall down flat and are destroyed
by thy great power and might.
4Thou hast revenged all my wrong,
my grief and all my grudge.
Thou dost with Justice hear my cause,
most like a righteous judge.
5Thou dost rebuke the heathen folk,
and wicked so confound,
That afterward the memory
of them cannot be found.
6Destructions to an end are come,
and cities overthrown;
With them likewise is perished.
their fame and great renown.
7Know thou that he which is above
for evermore shall reign,
And in the seat of equity
true judgment will maintain.
8With Justice he will keep and guide
the world and every wight:
And so will yield with equity,
to every man his right
9He is protector of the poor,
what time they be opprest:
He is in all Adversity
their refuge and their rest.
10And they that know thy holy Name
therefore shall trust in thee:
For thou forsaketh not their suit
in their necessity.
The Second Part.
11Sing Psalms therefore unto the Lord,
who dwells on Sion Hill:
Among the People all declare
his noble acts and will.
12For he is mindful of the Blood
of those that be opprest:
Forgetting not the humble Man
that seeks to him for rest.
13Have Mercy, Lord, on me poor wretch,
my Foes do yet remain:
For from the gates of death thou dost,
still raise me up again.
14In Sion that I may set forth
thy Praise with Heart and Voice,
And that in thy Salvation,
my Soul may still rejoice.
15The heathen stick fast in the pit
that they themselves prepar’d,
And in the net that they did hide
their own Feet are ensnar’d.
16By judgments great the Lord is known,
whilst wicked men are caught,
And fast entangled in the work which
their one hands, have wrought.
17The wicked and deceitful Men
go down to hell below,
And all the People of the World,
that God refuse to know.
18Be sure the Lord will not forget
the poor mans grief and pain:
The patient People never look
for help of him in vain.
19O Lord arise, lest Men prevail
that be of worldly might:
And let the heathen folk receive
their judgment in thy sight.
20Lord, strike such terror, fear and dread
into their Hearts, and then
They will be forced to confess
themselves to be but Men.
