8ruling the world with justice, and judging the nations with equity.
9So the Lord proves a haven to the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.
10Well may they trust you who know your name, for those who seek you, you never abandon.
11Sing praise to the Lord, whose home is in Zion, declare his deeds amongst the nations.
12As avenger of blood, he keeps them in mind, he does not forget the cry of the wretched.
13Show me favour, Lord, see how my foes afflict me, lift me up from the gates of death;
14so I may, in your help exulting, tell forth your praise at the gates of Zion.
15The nations are sunk in the pit which they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot is entangled.
16The Lord is revealed in the judgement he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. Selah
17Let the wicked depart to Sheol, all the nations that live forgetful of God.
18For the needy will not be always forgotten, nor the hope of the helpless be lost forever.
19Arise, Lord; don't let them triumph: before your face let the nations be judged.
20Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. Selah
