I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
Psalm 9:6-8
6
O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has perished.
7
But the Lord shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8
He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
Psalm 9:9-10

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Psalm 9:11-12
11
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people.
12
When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the humble.
Psalm 9:13-14
13
Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14
That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in Your salvation.
Psalm 9:15-16
15
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16
The Lord is known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
