Salmos 9

Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Righteous Judgments

To the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Death of the Son." A Psalm of David.

1 I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;

I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

2 I will be glad and *Ps. 5:11; 104:34rejoice in You;

I will sing praise to Your name, *(Ps. 83:18; 92:1)O Most High.

3 When my enemies turn back,

They shall fall and perish at Your presence.

4 For You have maintained my right and my cause;

You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.

5 You have rebuked the nations,

You have destroyed the wicked;

You have *Prov. 10:7blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!

And you have destroyed cities;

Even their memory has *(Ps. 34:16)perished.

7 *Ps. 102:12, 26; Heb. 1:11But the Lord shall endure forever;

He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8 *(Ps. 96:13; 98:9; Acts 17:31)He shall judge the world in righteousness,

And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a *Ps. 32:7; 46:1; 91:2refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And those who *Ps. 91:14know Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!

*Ps. 66:16; 107:22Declare His deeds among the people.

12 *(Gen. 9:5; Ps. 72:14)When He avenges blood, He remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the humble.

13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!

Consider my trouble from those who hate me,

You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14 That I may tell of all Your praise

In the gates of the daughter of Zion.

I will *Ps. 13:5; 20:5; 35:9rejoice in Your salvation.

15 *Ps. 7:15, 16The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;

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

16 The Lord is *Ex. 7:5known by the judgment He executes;

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

*Ps. 92:3Meditation.

Selah

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,

And all the nations *Job 8:13; Ps. 50:22that forget God.

18 *Ps. 9:12; 12:5For the needy shall not always be forgotten;

*(Ps. 62:5; 71:5); Prov. 23:18The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 Arise, O Lord,

Do not let man prevail;

Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord,

That the nations may know themselves tobebut men.

Selah
