Psalms 9:6-16

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

⁷But Yahweh 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.

⁹Yahweh 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, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

¹¹Sing praises to Yahweh, 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, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death,

¹⁴that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

¹⁵The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

¹⁶Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
