Psalm 9
|
If you don't like having the Bible pushed at you by your
Airline, then
complain!
|
| 9:1
I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy
marvellous works.
|
| 9:2
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou
most High.
|
| 9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy
presence.
|
| 9:4
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne
judging right.
|
| 9:5
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast
put out their name for ever and ever.
|
| 9:6
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast
destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. |
  (9:3-6) If you pray to God, he will
kill your enemies for you.
|
| 9:7
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for
judgment. |
|
| 9:8
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment
to the people in uprightness. |
|
| 9:9
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of
trouble. |
|
| 9:10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD,
hast not forsaken them that seek thee. |
|
| 9:11
Sing praises to the
LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. |
Where does God dwell?
|
| 9:12
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth
not the cry of the humble. |
|
| 9:13
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them
that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: |
|
| 9:14
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion:
I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
|
| 9:15
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they
hid is their own foot taken. |
|
| 9:16
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared
in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. |
|
| 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. |
|
| 9:18
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor
shall not perish for ever. |
|
| 9:19
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy
sight. |
|
| 9:20
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but
men. Selah.
