This is a song that David wrote.

The leader must use the music ‘Death of the son.’

A song to thank God[a]

All that I am says ‘thank you’ to the Lord.
I will tell people about all the great things that you have done.
I will be very happy because of you.
I will sing to praise your name, Most High God.

  1. 9:1 David probably wrote Psalms 9 and 10 as one psalm. In the Hebrew language, each verse started with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In Psalm 10 not all the letters are there. We have used English letters here.

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.
