Psalm 9 is the debut studio album by the American doom metal band Trouble, released in 1984. The album was originally released eponymously and was renamed to Psalm 9 after the release of their fourth album, which was their 1990 self-titled release. Along with the Saint Vitus eponymous debut album from the same year, Psalm 9 is considered by many critics to be one of the first doom metal releases.

The cover of Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses" was a b-side to the only single taken from the album.

The album has been released for CD on three occasions: in 1991 by Metal Blade Records, a year after the release of then-current album Trouble; remastered using the original master tapes and reissued again by Metal Blade in 1994, commemorating the tenth anniversary of its release; and again remastered and reissued by Escapi Music in October 2006, with a bonus DVD.
