Psalms 9:4-13

⁴When mine enemies are turned back, they shall be feeble and perish at thy presence.

⁵For thou hast maintained my cause and my right; thou satest on the throne, that judgest righteousness.

⁶Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.

⁷The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,

⁸but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

⁹And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.

¹⁰The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.

¹¹And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.

¹²Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.

¹³For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
