Psalms 9:8-16

8He alone judges the world with righteousness. He judges ⌞its⌟ people fairly.

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

10Those who know your name trust you, O Lord, because you have never deserted those who seek your help.

11Make music to praise the Lord, who is enthroned in Zion. Announce to the nations what he has done.

12The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people. He has never forgotten their cries.

13Have pity on me, O Lord. Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me. You take me away from the gates of death

14so that I may recite your praises one by one in the gates of Zion and find joy in your salvation.

15The nations have sunk into the pit they have made. Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden ⌞to trap others⌟.

16The Lord is known by the judgment he has carried out. The wicked person is trapped by the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah
