Psalms 9:8-16

8and he judges the world with righteousness; he judges the peoples with uprightness.

9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

10And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

11Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples his deeds!

12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

13Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,

14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.

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

16The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
