WEDNESDAY Reflections
I
love the beginning of this psalm. “I will praise thee O Lord with my whole
heart, I will show forth all thy marvelous works!” Everything within us should
give glory to God. We should share the great and marvelous things he has done.
Our faith isn’t a sit-down and be quiet faith. It rejoices, sings, and shares God’s
works.
In
verse 18, the psalmist reminds the reader(singer), “For the needy shall not
always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish
forever.” This verse is an honest assessment that at times the needy and poor
appear to have been forgotten and neglected. They haven’t but it does appear
that way. Life hands people difficult times and it is easy to feel you have
been forgotten. You haven’t but in those moments, it feels like help may come
but it may take forever. What do you do? Call out for help. Call out to God.
Psa 9:1-20
(1) To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works.
(2) I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
(3) When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
(4) For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
(5) Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
(6) O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
(7) But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
(8) And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
(9) The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
(10) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
(11) Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
(12) When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
(13) Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
(14) That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
(15) The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
(16) The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
(17) The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
(18) For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
(19) Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
(20) Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
