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.

9And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
²And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
³Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
⁴So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
⁵And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
⁶And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
¹⁰And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
¹¹Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
¹²And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
¹³Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
¹⁴So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
¹⁵But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
¹⁶So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.

¹⁴Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
¹⁵Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
¹⁶But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
¹⁷And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
¹⁸Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
¹⁹Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
²⁰But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
²¹If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
²²Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
²³But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
²⁴And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
²⁵In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
²⁶And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
