Psalm 9 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.

Psa 9:1

For the music director; on [fn]Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;

I will tell of all Your [fn]wonders.

Psa 9:2

I will rejoice and be jubilant in You;

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Psa 9:3

When my enemies turn back,

They stumble and perish before You.

Psa 9:4

For You have maintained [fn]my just cause;

You have sat on the throne [fn]judging righteously.

Psa 9:5

You have rebuked the nations, You have eliminated the wicked;

You have wiped out their name forever and ever.

Psa 9:6

[fn]The enemy has come to an end in everlasting ruins,

And You have uprooted the cities;

The very memory of them has perished.

Psa 9:7

But the LORD [fn]sits as King forever;

He has established His throne for judgment,

Psa 9:8

And He will judge the world in righteousness;

He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly.

Psa 9:9

[fn]The LORD will also be a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of trouble;

Psa 9:10

And [fn]those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, LORD, have not abandoned those who seek You.

Psa 9:11

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;

Declare His deeds among the peoples.

Psa 9:12

For He who [fn]requires blood remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the needy.

Psa 9:13

Be gracious to me, LORD;

See my oppression from those who hate me,

You who lift me up from the gates of death,

Psa 9:14

So that I may tell of all Your praises,

That in the gates of the daughter of Zion

I may rejoice in Your [fn]salvation.

Psa 9:15

The nations have sunk down into the pit which they have made;

In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

Psa 9:16

The LORD has made Himself known;

He has executed judgment.

A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. [fn]Higgaion Selah

Psa 9:17

The wicked will [fn]return to [fn]Sheol,

All the nations who forget God.

Psa 9:18

For the needy will not always be forgotten,

Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

Psa 9:19

Arise, LORD, do not let mankind prevail;

Let the nations be judged before You.

Psa 9:20

Put them in fear, LORD;

Let the nations know that they are merely human. Selah
