Let the Nations Know
May 31st, 2009. Filed under: Sunday Scriptures.I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
But the Lord sits enthroned forever, he has established his throne for judgment. He judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with equity.
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught. The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.
Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail; let the nations be judged before you. Put them in fear, O lord, let the nations know that they are only human.
Psalm 9:1-2, 7-10, 15-16, 19-20
