Psalms 9:8-16

8He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.

9The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.

12For he who avenges blood remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

13Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,

14that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.

15The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

16The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
