| # Chapter 9
#### 1 | I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
#### 2 | I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, you Most High.
#### 3 | When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish in your presence.
#### 4 | For you have maintained my right and my cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
#### 5 | You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
#### 6 | The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
#### 7 | But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
#### 8 | He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
#### 9 | Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; A high tower in times of trouble.
#### 10 | Those who know your name will put their trust in you, For you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
#### 11 | Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, And declare among the people what he has done.
#### 12 | For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
#### 13 | Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, And lift me up from the gates of death;
#### 14 | That I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation.
#### 15 | The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
#### 16 | Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
#### 17 | The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God.
#### 18 | For the needy shall not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
#### 19 | Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
#### 20 | Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah. Psalm 10
