Psalms 9:6-11

6The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.

7But the Lord rules forever; he reigns in a just manner.

8He judges the world fairly; he makes just legal decisions for the nations.

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.

11Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!
