Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 9:8-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

9. Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble;

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

11. Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings.

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

13. Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

14. That I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

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

16. Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
