Psalms 9:1-12:8

9:1  I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to
thy name, O thou most High.

9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and
perish at thy presence.

9:4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest
in the throne judging right.

9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

9:6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with
them.

9:7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.

9:8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge
in times of trouble.

9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.

9:12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:
he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

9:13 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:

9:14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in
the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

9:16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth:
the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion.
Selah.

9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations
that forget God.

9:18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation
of the poor shall not perish for ever.

9:19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be
judged in thy sight.

9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know
themselves to be but men. Selah.

10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them
be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above
out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I
shall never be in adversity.

10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under
his tongue is mischief and vanity.

10:8 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.

10:9 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.

10:10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may
fall by his strong ones.

10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth
his face; he will never see it.

10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
humble.

10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.

10:14 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.

10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek
out his wickedness till thou find none.

10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are
perished out of his land.

10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of
the earth may no more oppress.

11:1  In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?
11:2 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.

11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in
heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
loveth violence his soul hateth.

11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,
and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their
cup.

11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his
countenance doth behold the upright.

12:1  Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the
tongue that speaketh proud things:

12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
are our own: who is lord over us?

12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the
needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in
safety from him that puffeth at him.

12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried
in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.

12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.
