Psalm 9

¶ After he had giuen thankes to God for the ſundrie victories that he had ſent him againſt his enemies, and alſo proued by manifolde experience how readie God was at hād in all his troubles. 14 He being now likewiſe in danger of newe enemies, deſireth God to helpe him according to his wonte, 17 And to deſtroy the malicious arrogancie of his aduerſaries.
To him that excelleth vpon Muth Labbén. A Pſalme of Dauid.
1.I Wil praiſe the Lord with my whole heart: I wil ſpeake of all thy marueilous workes.
2.I wil be glad, and reioyce in thee: I wil ſing praiſe to thy Name, ô moſte high,
3.For that mine enemies are turned backe: they ſhal fall, and periſh at thy preſence.
4.For thou haſt mainteined my right & my cauſe: thou art ſet in the throne, and iudgeſt right.
5.Thou haſt rebuked the heathen: thou haſt deſtroied the wicked: yu haſt put out their name for euer and euer.
6.O enemie, deſtructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou haſt deſtroied the cities: their memorial is periſhed with them.
7.But the Lord ſhal ſit for euer: he hathe prepared his throne for iudgement.
8.For he ſhal iudge the worlde in righteouſnes, & ſhal iudge the people with equitie.
9.The Lord alſo wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
10.And thei that knowe thy Name, wil truſt in thee: for thou, Lord, haſt not failed thē that ſeke thee.
11.Sing praiſes to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zión: ſhewe the people his workes.
12.For when he maketh inquiſition for blood, he remembreth it, & forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
13.Haue mercie vpon me, ô Lord: conſider my trouble, which I ſuffre of them that hate me, thou that lifteſt me vp from the gates of death:
14.That I maie ſhewe all thy praiſes within the gates of the daughter of Zión, & reioyce in thy ſaluacion.
15.The heathen are ſunken downe in the pit, that thei made: in the net that they hid, is their fote taken.
16.The Lord is knowé by executing iudgement: the wicked is ſnared in the worke of his owne hands. Higgaión. Sélah.
17.The wicked ſhal turne into hel, & all nations that forget God.
18.For the poore ſhal not be alwaie forgotten: the hope of the afflicted ſhal not periſh for euer.
19.Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy ſight.
20.Put them in feare, ô Lord, that the heathen maie know that they are but men. Sélah.
