Psalms 9:8-16

8And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the nations with fairness (equity).

9The Lord also will be a refuge and a stronghold for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble;

10And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You, For You, O Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

11Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; Declare among the peoples His [great and wondrous] deeds.

12For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people); He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.

13Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord; See how I am afflicted by those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,

14That I may tell aloud all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion (Jerusalem) I may rejoice in Your salvation and Your help.

15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.

16The Lord has made Himself known; He executes judgment; The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah.
