14 So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my heart in Thy salvation.
Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

And Hannah prayeth, and saith: `My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation.
Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my salvation.
I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.
And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,
Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them -- I thank Jah. This `is' the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.
My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people, In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!
And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy praise.

Commentary on Psalms 9 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 9
In this psalm,

To the chief musician upon Muth-labben. A psalm of David.
Psa 9:1-10
The title of this psalm gives a very uncertain sound concerning the occasion of penning it.

In these verses,
Psa 9:11-20
In these verses,
