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.
