Pss.9
[1] I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
[2] I will be
glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
[3] When mine enemies are
turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
[4] For thou hast maintained my right and my
cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
[5] Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed
the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
[6] O thou enemy, destructions are come to a
perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
[7] But the LORD shall
endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
[8] And he shall judge the world in righteousness,
he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
[9] The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
[10] And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD,
hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
[11] Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.
[12] When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth
not the cry of the humble.
[13] Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them
that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
[14] That I may shew forth all thy praise in
the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
[15] The heathen are sunk down in the pit
that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
[16] The LORD is known by the judgment
which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
[17] The wicked
shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
[18] For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the
expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
[19] Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen
be judged in thy sight.
[20] Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but
men. Selah.
Pss.10
[1] Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
[2] The wicked in
his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
[3] For the
wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
[4] The
wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
[5]
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he
puffeth at them.
[6] He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
[7] His
mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
[8] He sitteth in the
lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set
against the poor.
[9] He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth
catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
[10] He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor
may fall by his strong ones.
[11] He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will
never see it.
[12] Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
[13] Wherefore doth the
wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
[14] Thou hast seen it; for thou
beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art
the helper of the fatherless.
[15] Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness
till thou find none.
[16] The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
[17]
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear
to hear:
[18] To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
Pss.11
[1] In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
[2] For, lo, the
wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.
[3] If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
[4] The LORD is in his
holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
[5]
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
[6] Upon the
wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their
cup.
[7] For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
