PSALMS 9:5-13

⁵Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

⁶The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; and the cities which thou hast overthrown, their very memorial is perished.

⁷But the LORD sitteth as king for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

⁸And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

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

¹⁰And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

¹¹Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

¹²For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

¹³Have mercy upon me, O LORD; behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
