Psalms 9:4-17 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

4. For thou maintain'dst my right and cause;on throne sat'st judging right.

5. The heathen thou rebuked hast,the wicked overthrown;Thou hast put out their names, that theymay never more be known.

6. O en'my! now destructions havean end perpetual:Thou cities raz'd; perish'd with themis their memorial.

7. God shall endure for aye; he dothfor judgment set his throne;

8. In righteousness to judge the world,justice to give each one.

9. God also will a refuge befor those that are oppress'd;A refuge will he be in timesof trouble to distress'd.

10. And they that know thy name, in theetheir confidence will place:For thou hast not forsaken themthat truly seek thy face.

11. O sing ye praises to the Lord,that dwells in Sion hill;And all the nations amonghis deeds record ye still.

12. When he enquireth after blood,he then rememb'reth them:The humble folk he not forgetsthat call upon his name.

13. Lord, pity me; behold the griefwhich I from foes sustain;Ev'n thou, who from the gates of deathdost raise me up again;

14. That I, in Sion's daughters' gates,may all thy praise advance;And that I may rejoice alwaysin thy deliverance.

15. The heathen are sunk in the pitwhich they themselves prepar'd;And in the net which they have hidtheir own feet fast are snar'd.

16. The Lord is by the judgment knownwhich he himself hath wrought:The sinners' hands do make the snareswherewith themselves are caught.

17. They who are wicked into helleach one shall turned be;And all the nations that forgetto seek the Lord most high.
