Psalm 9:9

Verse 9 of 20. The 9th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

5You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

7But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

8He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

10Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

12For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

13Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,
