          DASV: Psalm 9    

For the music director, according to Muth-labben. A psalm of David.

1 I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
     I will tell of all your marvelous 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 before you.
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause;
     you sat 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 has come to an end in everlasting ruins,
     and you have uprooted their cities,
           the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the LORD sits enthroned forever;
     he has established his throne for judgment;
8 he will judge the world with righteousness;
     he will judge the peoples with fairness.
9 The LORD will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
     a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
     for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;
     declare his deeds among the people.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers the slain;
     he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

13 Have mercy on me, O LORD.
     Look at my affliction that I suffer from those who hate me;
           you are the one who can lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may recount all your praises,
     in the gates of the daughter of Zion
           I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they made;
     their own foot has been snared in the net they hid.
16 The LORD has made himself known,
     he has executed judgment;
           the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
                Higgaion. Selah
17 The wicked will be turned back to the grave,
     all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy will not always be forgotten,
     nor the hope of the poor dashed forever.

19 Arise, O LORD, do not let humans prevail;
     let the nations be judged before you.
20 Terrify them, O LORD;
     let the nations know that they are merely human. Selah
