9:1. Unto the end, for the hidden things of the Son. A psalm for David.
The hidden things of the Son.... The humility and sufferings of Christ, the Son of God; and of good Christians, who are his sons by adoption; are called hidden things, with regard to the children of this world, who know not the value and merit of them.
9:2. I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: I will relate all thy wonders.
9:3. I will be glad, and rejoice in thee: I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
9:4. When my enemy shall be turned back: they shall be weakened, and perish before thy face.
9:5. For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
9:6. Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:7. The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: and their cities thou hast destroyed. Their memory hath perished with a noise:
9:8. But the Lord remaineth for ever. He hath prepared his throne in judgment:
9:9. And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
