Psalm 9 Psalms for All Seasons Copyright 2012 Sung to: BOTHER JAMES’ AIR “The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want” Trinity Hymnal tune #86 CCLI #

Come, sing to God with all your heart Give thanks to God Most High Who makes the ruthless fall from pow'r And rescues those who cry. 2

For, Holy One, you take our part; Your ways are always just. You stop the tyrants in their tracks And turn their names to dust. 3

You are a shelter for the poor, A stronghold in distress. You care for all who trust in you And all who are oppressed. 4

The violent move in vicious stealth To dig their victim's grave. Come, snare them in the nets they cast Come, Mighty God, and save! 5

Rise up, O God; our blood cries out Bring justice! Raise Your hand! Then we will tell how you have saved Your praise will fill the land. 6
