- Kapitel 9 -

I will give thanks to the Lord

I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.

I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.

For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,

that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.

Higgaion Selah (a) The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God.

For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.

Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.

Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah

I will give thanks to the Lord

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,

that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,(a) even all the nations that forget God.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

Arise, LORD! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
