Today's Encouragement from God's Word

This morning, Caedmon and I had some time in prayer together for our nation. He felt led to read Psalm 9, and I was blown away by how applicable it is to today.

[[To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.]] Psalm 9:1 I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
	Psa 9:2	I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
	Psa 9:3	When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
	Psa 9:4	For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
	Psa 9:5	Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
	Psa 9:6	O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
	Psa 9:7	But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
	Psa 9:8	And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
	Psa 9:9	The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
	Psa 9:10	And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
	Psa 9:11	Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
	Psa 9:12	When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
	Psa 9:13	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:
	Psa 9:14	That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
	Psa 9:15	The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
	Psa 9:16	The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
	Psa 9:17	The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.
	Psa 9:18	For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
	Psa 9:19	Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
	Psa 9:20	Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah. Blue Letter Bible. "Psalm 9 - King James Version." Blue Letter Bible. 1996-2008. 4 Nov 2008. < b="Psa&c="9&t="KJV">
