Excerpts from Psalm 9

Psalm of David:

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart;... I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High... for thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. But the Lord will endure forever: he hath prepared his throne for judgement. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgement to the people in uprightness.

The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Sing praises to the Lord, .. declare among the people his doings... He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

Have mercy upon me , O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer... I will rejoice in thy salvation. The Lord is known by the judgement which he executes; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail... Put them in fear, O lord; that the nations may know themselves to be but men.
