Psalms 9:1-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart.I will tell all the miracles you have done.

2. I will be happy because of you.God Most High, I will sing praises to your name.

3. My enemies turn back.They are overwhelmed and die because of you.

4. You have heard what I complained to you about.You sat on your throne and judged by what was right.

5. You spoke strongly against the foreign nationsand destroyed the wicked people.You wiped out their names forever and ever.

6. The enemy is gone forever.You destroyed their cities.No one even remembers them.

7. But the Lord rules forever.He sits on his throne to judge.

8. The Lord will judge the world by what is right.He will decide what is fair for the nations.

9. The Lord defends those who suffer.He protects them in times of trouble.

10. Those who know the Lord trust him.He will not leave those who come to him.

11. Sing praises to the Lord who is king on Mount Zion.Tell the nations what he has done.

12. He remembers who the murderers are.He will not forget the cries of those who suffer.

13. Lord, be kind to me.See how my enemies hurt me.Do not let me go through the gates of death.
