Psalms 9:1-10 New English Translation (NET)

1. I will thank the Lord with all my heart!I will tell about all your amazing deeds!

2. I will be happy and rejoice in you!I will sing praises to you, O sovereign One!

3. When my enemies turn back,they trip and are defeated before you.

4. For you defended my just cause;from your throne you pronounced a just decision.

5. You terrified the nations with your battle cry;you destroyed the wicked;you permanently wiped out all memory of them.

6. The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins;you destroyed their cities;all memory of the enemies has perished.

7. But the Lord rules forever;he reigns in a just manner.

8. He judges the world fairly;he makes just legal decisions for the nations.

9. Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;he provides safety in times of trouble.

10. Your loyal followers trust in you,for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.
