Read the chapter

1I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. ✦ 2I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. ✦ 3When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence. ✦ 4For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness. ✦ 5You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. ✦ 6O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished. ✦ 7But the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. ✦ 8He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. ✦ 9The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. ✦ 10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. ✦ 11Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. ✦ 12When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. ✦ 13Have mercy on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, ✦ 14That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation. ✦ 15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. ✦ 16The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah ✦ 17The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God. ✦ 18For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. ✦ 19Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your 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.
