Psalms 9
To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.
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.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
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.
18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
