Psalm 9 may have originally been one poem with Psalm 10. Psalm 10 has no new superscription and the two Psalms deal with the same theme. The Psalms in the Hebrew text form a partial acrostic pattern. Ten of the initial letters of verses in Psalm 9 follow the order of the Hebrew alphabet, and seven initial letters in Psalm 10 continue the same pattern. In Hebrew, this makes this section of Scripture easy to read and memorize. David is the human author and he praises the Lord, the righteous Judge for destroying the wicked (vv 1-10), exhorts the people to praise Him (vv 11-12), and calls upon God to destroy the wicked so the right may be delivered (vv 13-20).
