Read the chapter

1I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. ✦ 2I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. ✦ 3When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. ✦ 4For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. ✦ 5Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. ✦ 6O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. ✦ 7But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. ✦ 8And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. ✦ 9The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. ✦ 10And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. ✦ 11Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. ✦ 12When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. ✦ 13Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: ✦ 14That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. ✦ 15The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. ✦ 16The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. ✦ 17The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. ✦ 18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. ✦ 19Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. ✦ 20Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be 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.
