9.19
- 8Sheep and oxen, all of them,
- Yea, and the beasts of the field;
- 9The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea;
- Whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
- 10O Lord, our Lord,
- How glorious is Thy name in all the earth!

For the Leader; upon Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
- 2I will give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart;
- I will tell of all Thy marvellous works.
- 3I will be glad and exult in Thee;
- I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
- 4When mine enemies are turned back,
- They stumble and perish at Thy presence;
- 5For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause;
- Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
- 6Thou hast rebuked the nations,
- Thou hast destroyed the wicked,
- Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
- 7O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever;
- And the cities which thou didst uproot,
- Their very memorial is perished.
- 8But the Lord is enthroned for ever;
- He hath established His throne for judgment.
- 9And He will judge the world in righteousness,
- He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
- 10The Lord also will be a high tower for the oppressed,
- A high tower in times of trouble;
- 11And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee;
- For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
- 12Sing praises to the Lord, who dwelleth in Zion;
- Declare among the peoples His doings.
- 13For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them;
- He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
- 14Be gracious unto me, O Lord,
- Behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me;
- Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
- 15That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion,
- That I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
- 16The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made;
- In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
- 17The Lord hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment,
- The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
- 18The wicked shall return to the nether-world,
- Even all the nations that forget God.
- 19For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,
- Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
