Psalm 9

Psalm 9

For the director of music. To the tune of "The Death of the Son." A psalm of David.

1 ^[a]I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.

2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

3 My enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.

4 For you have upheld my right and my cause;
you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.

5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.

7 The LORD reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.

8 He will judge the world in righteousness;
he will govern the peoples with justice.

9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.

12 For he who avenges blood remembers;
he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

13 O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

14 that I may declare your praises
in the gates of the Daughter of Zion
and there rejoice in your salvation.

15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16 The LORD is known by his justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
Higgaion. ^[b] Selah

17 The wicked return to the grave, ^[c]
all the nations that forget God.

18 But the needy will not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.

19 Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph;
let the nations be judged in your presence.

20 Strike them with terror, O LORD;
let the nations know they are but men.
Selah

Pam: The Lord will never leave those who trusts in Him. And always rendered help to the needy - financially or those poor in spirits!

Jacq : Praise must come right from the bottom of the heart, and deep within. the happiness outflows from deep within. God says today " Jia you my child, you are handling it well. Continue to run alongside and He will bring me through greater battles" With greater battles, comes greater victories =) The victory is yours too!

Chin Ling : I felt that the Lord was reminding me of the HOPE we have in him. That we can choose to praise him at all times, because we have a hope in him. That we can look ahead and know that Our HOPE will NEVER FAIL!

Crow: 2 verses spoke to me: v1"...I will tell of all your wonders" - dear Lord teach me to always speak of your goodness in my life to others.. and v18 "the needy will not always be forgotten" - I claim this promise for the children's families i serve..

Aileen: I was quite irritated cause i was going to be late this morning and while i was doing my QT i saw how david praised the lord even as people were persecuting him. So i decided that i shall praise the Lord no matter what happens today. Praise him!

Phebe: God reminded me that He will never forsake me! verse 18 spoke to me that i should also not forget about the needy...and go out to serve them...

Huijuan: Praise God at all times and i will see his wonders.
