CHAP. IX.
1 Dauid prayseth God for executing of iudgement. 11 He inciteth others to prayse him. 13 Hee prayeth, that hee may haue cause to prayse him.
2 I will bee glad and reioyce in thee: I will sing prayse to thy name, O thou most High.
3 When mine enemies are turned backe, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
4 For thou hast maintained my right, and my cause: thou satest in the throne iudging right.4
6 O thou enemie, destructions are come to a perpetuall end; and thou hast destroyed cities, their memoriall is perished with them.6
7 But the Lord shall endure for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement.7
9 The Lord also will bee a refuge for the oppressed: a refuge, in times of trouble.9
11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Sion: declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembreth them: he forgetteth not the crie of the humble.12
15 The heathen are sunke downe in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid, is their own foot taken.15
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needie shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poore shall not perish for euer.
19 Arise, O Lord, let not man preuaile: let the heathen bee iudged in thy sight.
20 Put them in feare, O Lord: that the nations may know themselues to be but men. Selah.
View Wesley's Notes for Psalms Chapter 9
9:3 Turned back - Put to flight.
9:7 But - Though cities and people may perish, yet the Lord abides for ever. Which is sufficient for the terror of his enemies, and the comfort of his church.
9:10 Thy name - Thy infinite power and wisdom, and faithfulness and goodness. The name of God is frequently put for God. Put their trust - The experience of thy faithfulness to thy people in all ages, is a just ground for their confidence.
9:11 Zion - Whose special and gracious presence is there. People - To the heathen nations.
9:12 Blood - The bloodshed of his innocent and holy ones: which though he may not seem to regard for a season, yet he will certainly call the authors of it to a severe account. Them - The humble, as it follows, or the oppressed, ver.#9|, that trust in him, and seek to him, ver.#10|, whom he seemed to have forgotten.
9:14 Gates - In the great assemblies. These gates he elegantly opposes to the former. Of - Of the people who live or meet together in Zion. For cities are as it were mothers to their people, and the people are commonly called their daughters. So the names of the daughters of Egypt, #Jer 46:11|, and of Edom, #Lam 4:21|,22, and of Tyre, #Psal 45:12|, are put for the people of those places.
9:16 Higgaion - This is either a musical term, or a note of attention, intimating that the matter deserves deep meditation, or consideration, as the word signifies.
9:17 Forget - That do not regard God, nor his precepts, nor his threatenings and judgments.
