Psalms 9 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 9 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ I will give thanks to the LORD with all 1my heart;
I will 2tell of all Your [a]wonders. - I will be glad and 3exult in You;
I will 4sing praise to Your name, O 5Most High. - ¶ When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and 6perish before You. - For You have 7maintained [b]my just cause;
You have sat on the throne [c]8judging righteously. - You have 9rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked;
You have 10blotted out their name forever and ever. - [d]The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very 11memory of them has perished. - ¶ But the 12LORD [e]abides forever;
He has established His 13throne for judgment, - And He will 14judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. - [f]The LORD also will be a 15stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble; - And [g]those who 16know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O LORD, have not 17forsaken those who seek You. - ¶ Sing praises to the LORD, who 18dwells in Zion;
19Declare among the peoples His deeds. - For 20He who [h]requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget 21the cry of the afflicted. - Be gracious to me, O LORD;
See my affliction from those 22who hate me,
You who 23lift me up from the gates of death, - That I may tell of 24all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may 25rejoice in Your [i]salvation. - The nations have sunk down 26in the pit which they have made;
In the 27net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. - The LORD has 28made Himself known;
He has 29executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. [j]Higgaion [k]Selah. - ¶ The wicked will [l]30return to [m]Sheol,
Even all the nations who 31forget God. - For the 32needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the 33hope of the afflicted perish forever. - 34Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be 35judged before You. - Put them 36in fear, O LORD;
Let the nations know that they are 37but men. Selah.
