🎶 Lyrics (Based directly on Psalm 9:1–20)

Verse 1 (Psalm 9:1–2)

I will give thanks with all my heart,

Proclaim Your deeds, how great You are.

I will rejoice and sing Your praise,

Most High God, Ancient of Days.

Verse 2 (Psalm 9:3–6)

My enemies turn back and fall,

You sit on the throne, Judge over all.

You rebuke the nations, blot out names —

The wicked fall, but You remain.

Chorus (Psalm 9:7–10)

You are my stronghold in time of pain,

A refuge that will still remain.

Those who know Your name will trust —

You never forsake the righteous and just.

You never forsake the ones who trust.

Verse 3 (Psalm 9:11–14)

Sing praises to the Lord enthroned on high,

Tell the world of His deeds with joy.

He remembers the cry of the poor and weak,

He lifts the humble, hears those who seek.

Bridge (Psalm 9:15–18)

The nations fall in traps they lay,

The Lord is just in every way.

The needy won’t be forgotten long,

Their hope restored in mercy’s song.

Final Chorus (Psalm 9:19–20)

Rise up, O Lord, let fear fall down,

Let all the earth know You wear the crown.

You are my stronghold, my soul’s defense —

Your justice reigns in permanence.
