Psalms 9:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart;I will talk about all your wonderful acts.

2. I will celebrate and rejoice in you;I will sing praises to your name, Most High.

3. When my enemies turn and retreat,they fall down and die right in front of you

4. because you have established justicefor me and my claim,because you rule from the throne,establishing justice rightly.

5. You’ve denounced the nations,destroyed the wicked.You’ve erased their names for all time.

6. Every enemy is wiped out,like something ruined forever.You’ve torn down their cities—even the memory of them is dead.
