Psalms 9:8-16

8And He will 1judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.9 2The Lord also will be a 3stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble;10And 4those who 5know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, O Lord, have not 6forsaken those who seek You.

11Sing praises to the Lord, who 7dwells in Zion; 8Declare among the peoples His deeds.12For 9He who 10requires blood remembers them; He does not forget 11the cry of the afflicted.13Be gracious to me, O Lord; See my affliction from those 12who hate me, You who 13lift me up from the gates of death,14That I may tell of 14all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may 15rejoice in Your 16salvation.15The nations have sunk down 17in the pit which they have made; In the 18net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.16The Lord has 19made Himself known; He has 20executed judgment. In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared. 21Higgaion 22Selah.
