Psalm 9:9–20 | Liturgical Calendar

9

The Lord also will be a defence for the oppressed *

even a refuge in due time of trouble.

10

And they that know thy Name will put their trust in thee *

for thou, Lord, hast never failed them that seek thee.

11

O praise the Lord which dwelleth in Sion *

shew the people of his doings.

12

For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them *

and forgetteth not the complaint of the poor.

13

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider the trouble which I suffer of them that hate me *

thou that liftest me up from the gates of death.

14

That I may shew all thy praises within the ports of the daughter of Sion *

I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made *

in the same net which they hid privily, is their foot taken.

16

The Lord is known to execute judgement *

the ungodly is trapped in the work of his own hands.

17

The wicked shall be turned into hell *

and all the people that forget God.

18

For the poor shall not alway be forgotten *

the patient abiding of the meek shall not perish for ever.

19

Up, Lord, and let not man have the upper hand *

let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20

Put them in fear, O Lord *

that the heathen may know themselves to be but men.
