Psalm 9 (Westminster CM)

1 Lord, thee I’ll praise with all my heart,thy wonders all proclaim.2 In thee, most High, I’ll greatly joy,and sing unto thy name.3 When back my foes were turn’d, they fell,and perish’d at thy sight:4 For thou maintain’dst my right and cause;on throne sat’st judging right.5 The heathen thou rebuked hast,the wicked overthrown;Thou hast put out their names, that theymay never more be known.6 O en’my! now destructions havean end perpetual:Thou cities raz’d; perish’d with themis their memorial.7 God shall endure for aye; he dothfor judgment set his throne;8 In righteousness to judge the world,justice to give each one.9 God also will a refuge befor those that are oppress’d;A refuge will he be in timesof trouble to distress’d.10 And they that know thy name, in theetheir confidence will place:For thou hast not forsaken themthat truly seek thy face.11 O sing ye praises to the Lord,that dwells in Sion hill;And all the nations amonghis deeds record ye still.12 When he enquireth after blood,he then rememb’reth them:The humble folk he not forgetsthat call upon his name.13 Lord, pity me; behold the griefwhich I from foes sustain;Ev’n thou, who from the gates of deathdost raise me up again;14 That I, in Sion’s daughters’ gates,may all thy praise advance;And that I may rejoice alwaysin thy deliverance.15 The heathen are sunk in the pitwhich they themselves prepar’d;And in the net which they have hidtheir own feet fast are snar’d.16 The Lord is by the judgment knownwhich he himself hath wrought:The sinners’ hands do make the snareswherewith themselves are caught.17 They who are wicked into helleach one shall turned be;And all the nations that forgetto seek the Lord most high.18 For they that needy are shall notforgotten be alway;The expectation of the poorshall not be lost for aye.19 Arise, Lord, let not man prevail;judge heathen in thy sight:20 That they may know themselves but men,the nations, Lord, affright.
