Read the chapter

1I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. ✦ 2I will rejoice and be jubilant in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. ✦ 3¶When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You. ✦ 4For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously. ✦ 5You have rebuked the nations, You have eliminated the wicked; You have wiped out their name forever and ever. ✦ 6The enemy has come to an end in everlasting ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. ✦ 7¶But the Lord sits as King forever; He has established His throne for judgment, ✦ 8And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly. ✦ 9The Lord will also be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; ✦ 10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You. ✦ 11¶Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; Declare His deeds among the peoples. ✦ 12For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the needy. ✦ 13Be gracious to me, Lord; See my oppression from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, ✦ 14So that I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. ✦ 15The nations have sunk down into the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. ✦ 16The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah ✦ 17¶The wicked will return to Sheol, All the nations who forget God. ✦ 18For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. ✦ 19Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail; Let the nations be judged before You. ✦ 20Put them in fear, Lord; Let the nations know that they are merely human. 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.
