Psalm 9:19
“Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 9Meaning
Within this movement of Psalm 9, the closing plea asks God to arise so human power is not mistaken for ultimate authority.
Final appeal against human self-exaltation
Within this movement of Psalm 9, verses 19–20 develop this movement before the next transition.
Read carefully
the closing plea asks God to arise so human power is not mistaken for ultimate authority; the verse must remain inside the argument of Psalm 9:19–20.
Reflection
Let this verse shape prayer, truthful action, and patient trust rather than impulsive retaliation.
