Psalm 9

Confitebor tibi

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 20 verses

  1. 1

    I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole heart; *
    I will tell of all your marvelous works.

  2. 2

    I will be glad and rejoice in you; *
    I will sing to your Name, O Most High.

  3. 3

    When my enemies are driven back, *
    they will stumble and perish at your presence.

  4. 4

    For you have maintained my right and my cause; *
    you sit upon your throne judging right.

  5. 5

    You have rebuked the ungodly and destroyed the wicked; *
    you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

  6. 6

    As for the enemy, they are finished, in perpetual ruin, *
    their cities plowed under, the memory of them perished;

  7. 7

    But the LORD is enthroned for ever; *
    he has set up his throne for judgment.

  8. 8

    It is he who rules the world with righteousness; *
    he judges the peoples with equity.

  9. 9

    The LORD will be a refuge for the oppressed, *
    a refuge in time of trouble.

  10. 10

    Those who know your Name will put their trust in you, *
    for you never forsake those who seek you, O LORD.

  11. 11

    Sing praise to the LORD who dwells in Zion; *
    proclaim to the peoples the things he has done.

  12. 12

    The Avenger of blood will remember them; *
    he will not forget the cry of the afflicted.

  13. 13

    Have pity on me, O LORD; *
    see the misery I suffer from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gate of death;

  14. 14

    So that I may tell of all your praises and rejoice in your salvation *
    in the gates of the city of Zion.

  15. 15

    The ungodly have fallen into the pit they dug, *
    and in the snare they set is their own foot caught.

  16. 16

    The LORD is known by his acts of justice; *
    the wicked are trapped in the works of their own hands.

  17. 17

    The wicked shall be given over to the grave, *
    and also all the people that forget God.

  18. 18

    For the needy shall not always be forgotten, *
    and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.

  19. 19

    Rise up, O LORD, let not the ungodly have the upper hand; *
    let them be judged before you.

  20. 20

    Put fear upon them, O LORD; *
    let the ungodly know they are but mortal.
