Psalm 9

³ When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish before You.
⁴ For You have maintained ^[c]my just cause;
You have sat on the throne ^[d]judging righteously.
⁵ You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
^6 [e]The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very memory of them has perished.

⁷ But the Lord ^[f]abides forever;
He has established His throne for judgment,
⁸ And He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
^9 [g]The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble;
¹⁰ And ^[h]those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

¹¹ Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His deeds.
¹² For He who ^[i]requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
¹³ Be gracious to me, O Lord;
See my affliction from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
¹⁴ That I may tell of all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may rejoice in Your ^[j]salvation.
¹⁵ The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
¹⁶ The Lord has made Himself known;
He has executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. ^[k]Higgaion ^[l]Selah.

¹⁷ The wicked will ^[m]return to ^[n]Sheol,
Even all the nations who forget God.
¹⁸ For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
¹⁹ Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
²⁰ Put them in fear, O Lord;
Let the nations know that they are but men. Selah.
