Psalm 9
With all my heart, LORD, I will praise you and tell everyone of the
wonders that you have created. God on high, I will delight in
singing your praises. When my enemies confront you, they turn and
run and are destroyed by you. You sit in judgement and find in my
favour and your right decisions show that I was in the line. You
give fair notice to all the nations on Earth and then destroy the
wrongdoers totally so that their very names are forgotten and our
enemies are wiped out for ever and all traces of them are cleared
away. You are eternal, LORD, and you will judge all the peoples on
Earth for all time with justice and compassion. The week can find
shelter with you because you are an impregnable fortress in troubled
times. You offer shelter to everyone who worships your name because
you are true to those who are faithful to you whilst we, in our
turn, spread your word to all of mankind. You never fail to punish
the culprit or to heed the pleas of those who need your help. Please
pity me, LORD! I am persecuted by my enemies. Keep me from death's
door so that I can continue to sing your praises and to tell
everyone about how you saved me. The nations have destroyed
themselves by their own evil and then you showed yourself and
dispensed justice, and punished the transgressors whilst giving hope
to the poor and downtrodden. LORD, do not allow the nations to
trample upon the rights of others; judge them, and show them how
weak they really are.
