Psalm 9 - Zions Daughters

Lyrics by Jody Killingsworth, Jake Mentzel, and Ben Sulser

I’ll praise You, LORD, with all my heart
And tell of all Your wondrous ways
I’ll sing for joy at every part
Most worthy judge, I’ll give You praise
Defender of my cause
My enemies, they turned in dread
When melted by Your powerful look
They tried to flee but fell instead
You blot their names out of Your book
Remember them no more
O the righteous God the Judge of earth is my strength
I take refuge in the Father
At the gates of Zion’s daughter
When I’m thirsty, LORD, You fill my cup
From streams of living water
Lift me out of my affliction
In the gates of death and slaughter
Let me live to ever sing Your praise in the gates
Of Zion’s daughter
The nations now are sinking down
Into the pits that they have made
Their feet are tangled in their nets
The traps that they themselves have laid
Ensnared by their own hands
The poor will put their trust in You
The humble call upon Your name
You have not left them to themselves
I know that they don’t hope in vain
Avenger of their blood!
O the righteous God the Judge of earth is my strength
I take refuge in the Father
At the gates of Zion’s daughter
When I’m thirsty, LORD, You fill my cup
From streams of living water
Lift me out of my affliction
In the gates of death and slaughter
Let me live to ever sing Your praise in the gates
Of Zion’s daughter
Rise up, O LORD, in Your wrath
Strike every scoffer You meet
Crush every fool in Your path
Put their injustice under Your feet!
I take refuge in the Father
At the gates of Zion’s daughter
When I’m thirsty, LORD, You fill my cup
From streams of living water
Lift me out of my affliction
In the gates of death and slaughter
Let me live to ever sing Your praise in the gates
Of Zion’s daughter
