Context of Psalms 9:11
9Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed; he provides safety in times of trouble. 10Your loyal followers trust in you, for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help. Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done! 12For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help 13when they prayed: “Have mercy on me, Lord! See how I am oppressed by those who hate me, O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!
