Psalm 9

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 9

1I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I will recount all Your wonders.
2I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies retreat,
they stumble and perish before You.
4For You have upheld my just cause;
You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations;
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have erased their name forever and ever.
6The enemy has come to eternal ruin,
and You have uprooted their cities;
the very memory of them has vanished.
7But the LORD abides forever;
He has established His throne for judgment.
8He judges the world with justice;
He governs the people with equity.
9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10Those who know Your name trust in You,
for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;
proclaim His deeds among the nations.
12For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers;
He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13Be merciful to me, O LORD;
see how my enemies afflict me!
Lift me up from the gates of death,
14that I may declare all Your praises —
that within the gates of Daughter Zion
I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16The LORD is known by the justice He brings;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
17The wicked will return to Sheol—
all the nations who forget God.
18For the needy will not always be forgotten;
nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
19Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail;
let the nations be judged in Your presence.
20Lay terror upon them, O LORD;
let the nations know they are but men.
— Psalm 9
