Psalm 9 is the ninth psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in English in the King James Version: "I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works." In Latin, it is known as "Confitebor tibi, Domine".[1] The topic of the psalm is that the success of evil is only temporary, and in the end, the righteous will endure.[2] Psalm 10 is considered part of Psalm 9 in the Greek Septuagint and in most pre-Reformation Christian Bibles. These two consecutive psalms have the form of a single acrostic Hebrew poem.[citation needed]

The psalm is a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies.
