Psalm 9 — Psalms 9:3–9

When mine enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish at thy presence.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
Thou sittest in the throne judging righteously.

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;
Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;
And the cities which thou hast overthrown,
The very remembrance of them is perished.

But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:
He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

And he will judge the world in righteousness,
He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,
A high tower in times of trouble;
