Psalms 9:8-16

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!

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!

14Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”

15The nations fell into the pit they had made; their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.

16The Lord revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
