Psalm 9:1-6

Contemporary English Version

(A psalm by David for the music leader. To the tune “The Death of the Son.”)

Sing Praises to the Lord

¹I will praise you, Lord,
    with all my heart
and tell about the wonders
    you have worked.
²God Most High, I will rejoice;
I will celebrate and sing
    because of you.

³When my enemies face you,
they run away and stumble
    and are destroyed.
⁴You take your seat as judge,
and your fair decisions prove
    that I was in the right.
⁵You warn the nations
    and destroy evil people;
you wipe out their names
    forever and ever.
⁶Our enemies are destroyed
    completely for all time.
Their cities are torn down,
and they will never
    be remembered again.
