Read the chapter

1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders. ✦ 2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. ✦ 3When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You. ✦ 4For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously. ✦ 5You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever. ✦ 6The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished. ✦ 7But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment. ✦ 8He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity. ✦ 9The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. ✦ 10Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. ✦ 11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations. ✦ 12For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. ✦ 13Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death, ✦ 14that I may declare all Your praises—that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. ✦ 15The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. ✦ 16The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. Higgaion Selah ✦ 17The wicked will return to Sheol—all the nations who forget God. ✦ 18For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed. ✦ 19Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence. ✦ 20Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. Selah ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 9 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
