 1 I will praise *thee*, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

 3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

 4 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.**

 5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

 6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.*

 7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

 8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.*

 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

 11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.*

 13 Have 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:

 14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit *that* they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

 16 The LORD is known *by* the judgment *which* he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.*

 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, *and* all the nations that forget God.

 18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall *not* perish for ever.

 19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

 20 Put them in fear, O LORD: *that* the nations may know themselves *to be but* men. Selah.

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
[Psalms 9:1](/kjv/psalms/9/1) « To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. » I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. 

**Upon Muth-labben** ] This was the name of a certain instrument, say some; the beginning of a song, say others, to the tune whereof this psalm was to be sung. Montanus and many more hold it to be an anagrammatism, and render it, For the death of Nabal, viz. by a covert intimation, and inversion of the letters. So in the title of [Psalms 7:1](/kjv/psalms/7/1) , *Cush Beniemini* for Kish the Benjamite. That is, 

*Parcere nominibus, dicere de vitiis.* 

Ver. 1. I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart This is a gratulatory psalm, wherein David shows his thankfulness, which a very heathen calleth *Maximam imo matrem omnium virtutmn reliquarum,* the mother of all the rest of the virtues (Cicero). True thankfulness, as one well observeth, is here and in the next verse described, 1. By the matter of it. 2. By the manner. First, for matter, the psalmist delivereth it in four parts. 1. The acknowledging of God in all. 2. A ciphering and summing up of special mercies (of ספר seems to come Cipher). 3. An expression of spiritual joy in God, as well as in his gifts. 4. A dedication of our songs and selves to his name. 

Secondly, for the manner, he presseth, 1. Integrity for the subject and object, [Psalms 9:12](/kjv/psalms/9/12) . Sincerity for affection and end, [Psalms 9:2](/kjv/psalms/9/2) .
