Morning Meditations 2011-5-7


ESV

Psa 9:1  To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
Psa 9:2  I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
Psa 9:3  When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before your presence.
Psa 9:4  For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
Psa 9:5  You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Psa 9:6  The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.
Psa 9:7  But the LORD sits enthroned forever; he has established his throne for justice,
Psa 9:8  and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.
Psa 9:9  The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Psa 9:10  And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
Psa 9:11  Sing praises to the LORD, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!
Psa 9:12  For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
Psa 9:13  Be gracious to me, O LORD! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
Psa 9:14  that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
Psa 9:15  The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
Psa 9:16  The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
Psa 9:17  The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God.
Psa 9:18  For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
Psa 9:19  Arise, O LORD! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before you!
Psa 9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD! Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
