CHAP. IX.

1 Dauid prayseth God for executing of iudgement. 11 He inciteth others to prayse him. 13 Hee prayeth, that hee may haue cause to prayse him.

¹[To the chiefe musician vpon MuthLabben. A Psalme of Dauid.] I wil praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will shewe foorth all thy maruellous workes.

²I will bee glad and reioyce in thee: I will sing prayse to thy name, O thou most High.

³When mine enemies are turned backe, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

⁴For thou hast maintained my right, and my cause: thou satest in the throne iudging right.⁴

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

⁶O thou enemie, destructions are come to a perpetuall end; and thou hast destroyed cities, their memoriall is perished with them.⁶

⁷But the Lord shall endure for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement.⁷

⁸And hee shall iudge the world in righteousnesse; he shall minister iudgement to the people in vprightnesse.

⁹The Lord also will bee a refuge for the oppressed: a refuge, in times of trouble.⁹

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou Lord hast not forsaken them that seeke thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Sion: declare among the people his doings.

¹²When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembreth them: he forgetteth not the crie of the humble.¹²

¹³Haue mercie vpon me O Lord, consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest mee vp from the gates of death:

His complaint.

¹⁴That I may shew foorth all thy prayse in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will reioyce in thy saluation.

¹⁵The heathen are sunke downe in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid, is their own foot taken.¹⁵

¹⁶The Lord is knowen by the iudgement which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne hands. Higgaion. Selah.

¹⁷The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the needie shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poore shall not perish for euer.

¹⁹Arise, O Lord, let not man preuaile: let the heathen bee iudged in thy sight.

²⁰Put them in feare, O Lord: that the nations may know themselues to be but men. Selah.
