Read the chapter

1I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. ✦ 2I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. ✦ 3My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared. ✦ 4For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness. ✦ 5You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever. ✦ 6The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten. ✦ 7But the Lord reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne. ✦ 8He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. ✦ 9The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. ✦ 10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. ✦ 11Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. ✦ 12For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer. ✦ 13Lord, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death. ✦ 14Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me. ✦ 15The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set. ✦ 16The Lord is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. Quiet Interlude ✦ 17The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God. ✦ 18But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always be crushed. ✦ 19Arise, O Lord! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations! ✦ 20Make them tremble in fear, O Lord. Let the nations know they are merely human. Interlude ✦

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.
