A Hymn of Praise to God

Psalm 9

By: Mike Aquilina and Christopher Bailey

A hymn of praise to God for deliverance so far, Psalm 9 is also a plea that the deliverance may continue.

The psalm is attributed to David, who certainly had enough occasions in his long conflict with Saul to thank God for saving him, while at the same time he realized that he wasn’t out of the woods yet.

To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;

I will tell of all thy wonderful deeds.

I will be glad and exult in thee,

I will sing praise to thy name, O Most High.

When my enemies turned back,

they stumbled and perished before thee.

For thou hast maintained my just cause;

thou hast sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked;

thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
