Psalms 9:1-16 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. I will praise Jehovah with my whole heart; I will recount all thy marvellous works.

2. I will be glad and rejoice in thee; I will sing forth thy name, O Most High.

3. When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished at thy presence:

4. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.

5. Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6. O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. --Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.

7. But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.

8. And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

9. And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.

10. And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11. Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.

12. For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.

13. Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:

14. That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.

15. The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.

16. Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
