Psalms 9:9-13

⁹The Lord is a place of safety for those who are oppressed, a fortress in times of trouble.

¹⁰Those who know your nature trust in you, for you don't abandon those who come to you.

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!

¹²He does not forget to punish murderers; he does not ignore the cries of the suffering.

¹³Be gracious to me, Lord! Look at how my enemies are persecuting me! Grab me back from the gates of death,
