Psalm 9 Prayed
Praise
for the victory of Jesus
I will praise you, O Lord Jesus,
with all my heart;
I
will tell of all your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in
you;
I
will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
For you have promised, O Lord,
that
everyone born of God
overcomes the world.
This is the victory that has
overcome the world;
even
our faith.
Who is it that overcomes the world?
Only
those who believe
that you are the Son of God.
For the reason the you appeared
was
to destroy the devil’s work.
Therefore my spiritual enemies
will turn back;
they
will stumble and perish before you.
For you have upheld my
right and my cause;
you
have sat on your throne,
judging righteously.
You have rebuked the nations
and destroyed the Wicked One;
you
have blotted out his follower’s names
for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has overtaken this
enemy,
you
have uprooted their cities;
even
the memory of them one day will perish.
For as you, O Christ, drive out
demons
by the Spirit of God,
and so the kingdom of God has come
upon us.
You have entered this “strong
man’s” house
and
carried off his possessions,
for
you first tied up this “strong man.”
Father God, you reign forever;
You
have established Christ's throne
for judgment.
You raised him from the dead
and
seated him at Your right hand
in the heavenly realms,
far above all rule and
authority,
power and dominion,
and
every title that can be given,
not only in the present age
but also in the one to come.
And You placed all things under
his feet
and
appointed him to be head over everything
for us, the church, which is
his body,
the
fullness of him
who fills everything in every way.
Now fulfil your promise, O Lord,
Let
Christ judge the world in righteousness;
let
him govern the peoples with justice.
O Lord Jesus, be a refuge for the
oppressed,
a
stronghold in times of trouble.
Let them know your name so they
will trust in you,
for
you, Lord Jesus,
have never forsaken those who seek
you.
Sing praises to the Lord Jesus,
enthroned in Zion,
the
heavenly Jerusalem,
the city of the living God.
Proclaim among the nations
what he has done.
For he who avenges blood
remembers;
he
does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
O Lord Jesus, see how my
spiritual enemies
persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up
from the gates of death,
for
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
Let me rejoice, singing;
“Where,
O death, is your victory?
Where,
O death, is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin,
and
the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God!
You
give us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore I will declare
your praises
in
the gates of the Church
and
there rejoice in your salvation.
O Lord, have mercy on this
fallen world;
for the nations have fallen
into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the
net
they have hidden.
For you, O Lord, are known by
your justice:
Therefore the wicked are
ensnared
by the work of their hands,
The wicked return to the grave;
all
the nations that forget God,
But have mercy on them, for we were no different.
We
were dead in our transgressions and sins,
in
which we used to live
when we followed the ways of this world
and
of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,
the
spirit who is now at work
in
those who are disobedient.
All
of us also lived among them at one time,
gratifying
the cravings of our sinful nature
and
following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature objects of
wrath.
But you did not forget the
needy,
nor did you let the hope
of the afflicted ever perish.
Because of your great love for us,
O God, who is rich in mercy,
you made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in
transgressions;
it is by grace we have been
saved.
And you raised us up with Christ
and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ
Jesus,
in order that in the coming
ages
you might show the incomparable
riches of your grace,
expressed in your kindness to us
in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you saved
us, through faith
and this not from ourselves,
it is your free gift to us, O God
not by works, so that no one can
boast.
Arise, O Lord Jesus, let not humanity
triumph;
let
the nations be judged in your presence.
Strike them with terror, O
Lord;
let
the nations know they are only human.
For who will not fear you, O
Lord,
and
bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
May all nations come
and
worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been
revealed.
Let the gospel of the Kingdom
be preached to the whole world,
as a testimony to all
nations,
so
that the end may come.
