    Psalm 9 (ESV)

     

    1 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
    I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
    2 I will be glad and exult in you;
    I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

    3 When my enemies turn back,
    they stumble and perish before your presence.
    4 For you have maintained my just cause;
    you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

    5 You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
    you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
    6 The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.

    7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
    he has established his throne for justice,
    8 and he judges the world with righteousness;
    he judges the peoples with uprightness.

    9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.
    10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,
    for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

     

    REFLECTION:

    1. David celebrated the Lord, for he knew God not only reigns forever, but “he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness”. This enables a person who is oppressed or in trouble to find refuge and hope now.
    2. Trust God may not change our circumstances, but it changes us! The mere fact that we can experience peace despite persecution is the most convincing evidence that God is real.
    3. Bring your troubles and heartaches to God with full confidence that God rules and He judges.

     

    PRAYER:

    Stay with God for a little longer.  Continue to converse with God and listen to what He wants to tell you.  Then write down any thought and/or prayer in your spiritual journal.
