But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
The title refers to the tune itself, not some historical victory, the disputes over which battle David celebrates here are pointless. Yes, he gives thanks for God's power, but read the whole psalm as prayer: he recalls former deliverances to lift his heart toward confidence that God will do the same against these new enemies rising before him.

Commenting on Psalm 9:1-20
The enduring existence and unchanging dominion of our Jehovah, are the firm foundations of our joy. The enemy and his destructions shall come to a perpetual end, but God and his throne shall endure for ever. The eternity of divine sovereignty yields unfailing consolation. By the throne being prepared for judgment, are we not to understand the swiftness of divine justice.
Praise God with your whole heart, not your lips alone, let sincerity and fervor mark it. When one mercy moves you, remember all His former works together. Your joy must pass through the gift and end in the Giver only, never linger on the gift itself. Such joy speaks naturally in song.
