PSALMS 9 AND 10

When the Enemy is defeated and the creation saved, do not take credit yourself, but know that the Son of God accomplished this, and speak to him in the words of Psalms 9 and 10.*

PSALM 9

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole heart;

I will tell of all your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you;

I will sing to your Name, O Most High.

When my enemies are driven back,

they will stumble and perish at your presence.

For you have maintained my right and my cause;

you sit upon your throne judging right.

You have rebuked the ungodly and destroyed the wicked;

you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

As for the enemy, they are finished, in perpetual ruin,

their cities ploughed under, the memory of them perished;

But the LORD is enthroned for ever;

he has set up his throne for judgment.

It is he who rules the world with righteousness;

he judges the peoples with equity.

The LORD will be a refuge for the oppressed,

a refuge in time of trouble.

Those who know your Name will put their trust in you,

for you never forsake those who seek you, O LORD.

Sing praise to the LORD who dwells in Zion;

proclaim to the peoples the things he has done.

The Avenger of blood will remember them;

he will not forget the cry of the afflicted.

Have pity on me, O LORD;

see the misery I suffer from those who hate me,

O you who lift me up from the gate of death;

So that I may tell of all your praises

and rejoice in your salvation

in the gates of the city of Zion.

The ungodly have fallen into the pit they dug,

and in the snare they set is their own foot caught.

The LORD is known by his acts of justice;

the wicked are trapped in the works of their own hands.

The wicked shall be given over to the grave,

and also all the peoples that forget God.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten,

and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.

Rise up, O LORD, let not the ungodly have the upper hand;

let them be judged before you.

Put fear upon them, O LORD;

let the ungodly know they are but mortal.

PSALM 10

Why do you stand so far off, O LORD,

and hide yourself in time of trouble?

The wicked arrogantly persecute the poor,

but they are trapped in the schemes they have devised.

The wicked boast of their heart’s desire;

the covetous curse and revile the LORD.

The wicked are so proud that they care not for God;

their only thought is, “God does not matter.”

Their ways are devious at all times;

your judgments are far above out of their sight;

they defy all their enemies.

They say in their heart, “I shall not be shaken;

no harm shall happen to me ever.”

Their mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression;

under their tongue are mischief and wrong.

They lurk in ambush in public squares

and in secret places they murder the innocent;

they spy out the helpless.

They lie in wait, like a lion in a covert;

they lie in wait to seize upon the lowly;

they seize the lowly and drag them away in their net.
