Psalm 9

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.

¹³Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
¹⁴For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
¹⁵She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
¹⁶Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
¹⁷Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
¹⁸She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
¹⁹The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
²⁰By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

3For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
²If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
³How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
⁴Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
⁵Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
⁶That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
⁷Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
⁸Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
⁹And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
¹⁰To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
¹³Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
