9And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress. 10And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings. 12For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten. 13Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
