Psalm
9:
I will praise you, O
Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all
your wonders.
I will be glad and
rejoice in you;
I will sing praise
to your name, O Most High.
My enemies turn
back;
They stumble and
perish before you.
For you have upheld
my cause;
You have sat on your
throne, judging righteously.
You
have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out
their name for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has
overtaken the enemy (the
godless),
You have uprooted
their cities;
Even the memory
of them has perished.
The Lord reigns
forever;
He has established
his throne for judgment.
He
will judge the world in righteousness;
He will govern the
peoples with justice.
The Lord is a refuge
for the oppressed,
A stronghold in
times of trouble.
Those who know your
name will trust in you,
For you, Lord have
never forsaken those who seek you.
Sing praises to the
Lord, enthroned in Zion;
Proclaim among
the nations what he has done.
For he who avenges
blood remembers;
He does not ignore
the cry of the afflicted.
O Lord, see how my
enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift
me up from the gates of death,
That I may declare
your praises in the gates of the Daughter of Zion
And there rejoice in
your salvation.
The
nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
Their
feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
The Lord is known by
his justice;
The wicked are
ensnared by the work of their hands.
The
wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forgot God.
But the needy will
not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the
afflicted ever perish.
Arise,
O Lord, let not man triumph;
Let
the nations be judged in your presence.
Strike
them with terror, O Lord;
Let
the nations know they are but men. (Psalm
9)
Today, all the
nations of the world are godless.
Everyday, God is
rebuking them.
He is judging the
nations in righteousness.
They are caught in the
pit they have dug for themselves.
Soon, God Almighty will
strike them with terror, they are only men.
They will be destroyed,
their memory will be forgotten, their history erased.
The Lord will uphold
His righteous ones, those with Christ living in them;
He will reign,
enthroned in Zion, in Israel, in Jerusalem;
Just as it is recorded
in God's Word. Hallelujah!
