MHRPC: Psalm 9A

Psalm 9A: Psalm 9:1-10

Sankey, 11.11.11.11. [High C]

1. ¹ I now will give whole-hearted thanks to the LORD,
        And all of Your marvellous works will record.
² In You will be glad and exultingly cry,
        And praise to Your name will I sing, O Most High.

2. ³ When backward my foes were all turned in despair,
        They stumbled and perished because You were there.
⁴ For You have defended my judgment and cause;
        You sat in just judgment upholding Your laws.

3. ⁵ You chided the nations, the wicked destroyed;
        Their names You erased and forever made void.
⁶ The foe is consumed, is completely erased,
        Their cities destroyed and their memory effaced.

4. ⁷ The LORD will eternally sit on His throne,
        Establishing it for His judgment alone.
⁸ In righteousness He'll judge the world from His seat
        And unto all peoples shall equity mete.

5. ⁹ The LORD is a strong-hold, a lofty strong tower,
        For all the oppressed in their troubles' dark hour.
¹⁰ Those knowing Your name, LORD, trust You for Your grace;
        You have not forsaken those seeking Your face.
