Psalms 9

¹I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart;

²I will be glad and exult in thee;

³When mine enemies turn back,

⁴For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;

⁵Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;

⁶The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;

⁷But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:

⁸And he will judge the world in righteousness,

⁹Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;

¹¹Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion:

¹²For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them;

¹³Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;

¹⁴That I may show forth all thy praise.

¹⁵The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:

¹⁶Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,

¹⁸For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,

¹⁹Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:

²⁰Put them in fear, O Jehovah:
