9:16. I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in
the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the
very snare which they hid.

9:17. The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner
hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

9:18. The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget
God.

9:19. For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience
of the poor shall not perish for ever.

9:20. Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be
judged in thy sight.

9:21. Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know
themselves to be but men.

Here the late Hebrew doctors divide this psalm into two, making ver. 22
the beginning of psalm 10. And again they join Psalms 146 and 147 into
one, in order that the whole number of psalms should not exceed 150. And
in this manner the psalms are numbered in the Protestant Bible.

(Psalm Chapter 10 according to the Hebrews.)

9:1. Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in
our wants, in the time of trouble?

9:2. Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are
caught in the counsels which they devise.

9:3. For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the
unjust man is blessed.

9:4. The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of
his wrath, he will not seek him:

9:5. God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy
judgments are removed form his sight: he shall rule over all his
enemies.

9:6. For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation
to generation, and shall be without evil.

9:7. His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deciet:
under his tongue are labour and sorrow.

9:8. He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, that he may
kill the innocent.

9:9. His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait, in secret, like a
lion in his den. He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: so
catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

9:10. In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when
he shall have power over the poor.

9:11. For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned
away his face, not to see to the end.

9:12. Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.

9:13. Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his
heart: He will not require it.

9:14. Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou
mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou
wilt be a helper to the orphan.

9:15. Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin
shall be sought, and shall not be found.

9:16. The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye
Gentiles shall perish from his land.

9:17. The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the
preparatgion of their heart.

9:18. To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no
more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
