Psalm 9:5
Douay-Rheims
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The Hebrew term means judgment ; but the sense is the justice of my cause. The psalmitt gives thanks to God for the defeat of his enemies, which he regards as a manifestation of divine justice. He represents God as seated on a tribunal, and passing sentence in his favor, which was followed by the utter discomfiture of his foes. The particular event referred to is not known : but those who were defeated, are spoken of as gentiles.
