Chapter 9

  Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.  

-

  I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.  

-

  I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.  

-

  When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.  

-

  For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.  

-

  Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.  

-

  The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise.  

-

  but the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:  

-

  and he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.  

-

  And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: a helper in due time in tribulation.  

-

  And let them trust in thee who know thy name: for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.  

-

  Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:  

-

  For requiring their blood he hath remembered the: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.  

-

  Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.  

-

  Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.  

-

  I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.  

-

  The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.  

-

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

-

  For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.  

-

  Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.  

-

  Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
