Psalms:9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I will give thanks to Jehovah with all my heart .
I will tell of all your wonders .
*
I will be glad ,
rejoice and exult in you .
I will sing praise to your name ,
O Most High .
*
When my enemies turn back ,
they stumble and perish before you .
*
You have maintained my just cause .
You have sat on the throne judging righteously .
*
You condemned nations .
You destroyed wicked people .
You erased their names forever and ever .
*
The enemy is finished-in ruins forever .
You have uprooted their cities .
Even the memory of them has faded .
*
Yet ,
Jehovah lives forever .
He has prepared his throne for judgment .
*
He alone judges the world with righteousness .
He judges its people fairly .
*
Jehovah is a refuge for the oppressed ,
a place of safety in times of trouble .
*
Those who know your name ,
Jehovah ,
will trust you .
You do not abandon anyone who comes to you .
*
Sing praise to Jehovah !
He dwells in Zion !
Tell every nation what he has done !
*
God remembers those who suffer .
He does not forget their cry ,
and he punishes those who wrong them .
*
Be merciful to me ,
O Jehovah !
See the sufferings my enemies cause me !
Rescue me from death ,
O Jehovah .
*
Let me stand before the people of Jerusalem and tell them all the things for which I praise you .
I will rejoice because you saved me .
*
The nations have dug a pit and fallen in .
They have been caught in their own trap .
*
Jehovah has revealed himself by his righteous judgments .
The wicked are trapped by their deeds .
*
The grave is the destiny of all the wicked ,
of all those who reject God .
*
Needy people will not always be forgotten .
Nor will the hope of meek people be lost forever .
*
Arise ,
O Jehovah .
Do not let mortals gain any power .
Let the nations be judged in your presence .
*
Strike them with terror ,
O Jehovah .
Let the nations know that they are only mortal .
