Psalm 9:9-20
New International Version
9 The Lord is a refuge(A) for the oppressed,(B)
a stronghold in times of trouble.(C)
10 Those who know your name(D) trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken(E) those who seek you.(F)
11 Sing the praises(G) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(H)
proclaim among the nations(I) what he has done.(J)
12 For he who avenges blood(K) remembers;
he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(L)
13 Lord, see how my enemies(M) persecute me!
Have mercy(N) and lift me up from the gates of death,(O)
14 that I may declare your praises(P)
in the gates of Daughter Zion,(Q)
and there rejoice in your salvation.(R)
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;(S)
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.(T)
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.[a](U)
17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,(V)
all the nations that forget God.(W)
18 But God will never forget the needy;
the hope(X) of the afflicted(Y) will never perish.
