Context of Psalms 9:11
9The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer. 13Lord, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.
