Psalm 9
1. David praises God for executing judgment
11. He incites others to praise him
13. He prays that he may have cause to praise him














that I may declare
The phrase "that I may declare" emphasizes the psalmist's intention to vocalize and make known the greatness of God. The Hebrew root for "declare" is "saphar," which means to recount or to tell. This suggests a deliberate and thoughtful recounting of God's deeds, not just a casual mention. In the context of ancient Israel, oral tradition was vital for preserving history and faith, and declaring God's works was a way to ensure His mighty acts were remembered and revered by future generations.

all Your praises
The word "all" signifies completeness and totality. The psalmist is committed to acknowledging every aspect of God's character and deeds. "Praises" in Hebrew is "tehillah," which refers to songs of praise or hymns. This indicates a form of worship that is both personal and communal, as praises were often sung in gatherings. The psalmist's intent is to offer a comprehensive tribute to God, recognizing His sovereignty, mercy, and justice.

that within the gates
The "gates" refer to the entrance of a city, specifically Jerusalem, which was often seen as a place of gathering and judgment. In ancient times, city gates were central to community life, serving as places for legal matters, social interaction, and public announcements. By mentioning the gates, the psalmist highlights a public declaration of faith, suggesting that worship and acknowledgment of God should be visible and communal.

of Daughter Zion
"Daughter Zion" is a poetic term for Jerusalem, the spiritual and political center of Israel. The term "daughter" conveys a sense of endearment and personification, indicating a close relationship between God and His chosen city. Historically, Zion was the site of the Temple, the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. This phrase underscores the significance of Jerusalem as a focal point of worship and divine interaction.

I may rejoice
The word "rejoice" comes from the Hebrew "giyl," which means to exult or be glad. This is not merely a fleeting emotion but a deep, abiding joy rooted in the recognition of God's salvation. The psalmist's joy is a response to God's deliverance and faithfulness, reflecting a heart transformed by gratitude and awe.

in Your salvation
"Salvation" in Hebrew is "yeshuah," which denotes deliverance, rescue, or safety. This term is rich with theological significance, pointing to God's intervention in human affairs to save and redeem His people. In the context of the psalm, salvation is both a present reality and a future hope, encompassing physical deliverance from enemies and spiritual redemption. The psalmist's rejoicing in salvation is a testament to God's unwavering commitment to His covenant and His power to save.

Verse 14. - That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. The "daughter of Zion" is, of course, Jerusalem. Compare "daughter of Babylon" (Psalm 137:8; Isaiah 47:1; Jeremiah 50:42; Zechariah 2:7), "daughter of the Chaldeans" (Isaiah 47:1, 5), "daughter of Edom" (Lamentations 4:21, 22), "daughter of Gallim" (Isaiah 10:30). Hengstenberg is probably right in understanding "in the gates" as "within the gates," since, as he observes, "God's praise is not to be celebrated in the gates, amid the throng of worldly business, but in the temple." The references in the ' Speaker's Commentary' do not bear out the statement there made, that "public mournings and public thanksgivings were proclaimed in the gates." I will rejoice in thy salvation; or, that I may rejoice (Kay).
