9 I
will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy
marvellous works. 2 I
will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou
most High. 3 When
mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 4 For
thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne
judging right. 5 Thou
hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put
out their name for ever and ever. 6 O
thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed
cities; their memorial is perished with them. 7 But
the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And
he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment
to the people in uprightness. 9 The
LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD,
hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11 Sing
praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his
doings. 12 When
he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not
the cry of the humble. 13 Have
mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate
me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 That
I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I
will rejoice in thy salvation. 15 The
heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid
is their own foot taken. 16 The
LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in
the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The
wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18 For
the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall
not perish for ever. 19 Arise,
O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20 Put
them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
Selah.
