Psalm 9:1-12

Psalm 9:1-12

God’s Justice Makes My Heart Sing in Praise to Him

Psa 9:1  To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. 

Psa 9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 

Psa 9:3  When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 

Psa 9:4  For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. 

Psa 9:5  Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 

Psa 9:6  O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 

Psa 9:7  But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 

Psa 9:8  And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 

Psa 9:9  The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 

Psa 9:10  And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 

Psa 9:11  Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 

Psa 9:12  When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
