Context of Psalms 9:8
6The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. 7But the Lord abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. 9The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; 10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
