The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment

Psalm 9:1-20
I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden. The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God. But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
This is one of a number of 'acrostic' psalms, in which the first letter of each verse follows the order of the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet. Only the first eleven letters are used here, and the acrostic seems to continue in Psalm 10.
V3-8 gives the reason for the outburst of praise. God has executed justice and upheld the right. He is an unassailable fortress(9-10). Praise him (11)! Trouble is by no means over (13), but past experience gives gound for fresh hope(15-20). "Thy kingdom come!"
Why?
God is righteousness, God judges the world in his judgment.
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed. God is our salvation and fortress, stronghold.
Because of the Lord, so we do not fear the trouble and terror. But follow the way of the Lord.

大衛的稱頌傳揚，公義的作為、信心的宣告，第二個祈求
歡喜快樂稱頌：因為神公義的作為及信心中看到神未來的作為
v3 神以公義審判恐惡人，ˋ4個已經，已經顯出神的公義作為，相信未來也會這樣做。運他們的名號也不見了。人在世求名，求利，人死後也想留名。其實人死後完全不知道。希望有人記念。
惟有耶和華的名可以存到永遠。
v7-12神保護受欺壓的人，困苦的人。一定紀念困苦人，受屈的人。
第一個祈求：求你憐恤他，看他恨我的人的所加的痛苦，好叫我敘說神的美德。基督徒得救後主要的美德，不是坐在這裏等著上天堂。
v15-18信心的宣告。窮乏人必不永久被忘記。從以前的已經，曾經，看到神必定成就。
第二個祈求，叫外邦人看見他們不過是人。稱頌、傳揚、稱謝是這篇很重要的。不是在平安、一切興旺中的稱謝，其實大衛在苦難中，從歷史中，從信心中相信神的作為，亦然可以稱頌神！求主幫助我們學習大衛的榜樣。從歷史看見神的作為，只要求神看到我，神已經知道。


How?
Praise the Holy Name of the Lord and rejoice in Him.
