Psalm 9:1-10

1 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will be glad and exult in you;
    I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turned back,
    they stumbled and perished before you.
4 For you have maintained my just cause;
    you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgement.

5 You have rebuked the nations, you have destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you have rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord sits enthroned for ever,
    he has established his throne for judgement.
8 He judges the world with righteousness;
    he judges the peoples with equity.

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,
    for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
