Psalms 9:9-20 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.

10. Those who know your name trust you, O Lord,because you have never deserted those who seek your help.

11. Make music to praise the Lord, who is enthroned in Zion.Announce to the nations what he has done.

12. The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people.He has never forgotten their cries.

13. Have pity on me, O Lord.Look at what I suffer because of those who hate me.You take me away from the gates of death

14. so that I may recite your praises one by onein the gates of Zionand find joy in your salvation.

15. The nations have sunk into the pit they have made.Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden ⌊to trap others⌋.

16. The Lord is known by the judgment he has carried out.The wicked person is trappedby the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah

17. Wicked people, all the nations who forget God,will return to the grave.

18. Needy people will not always be forgotten.Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever.

19. Arise, O Lord.Do not let mortals gain any power.Let the nations be judged in your presence.

20. Strike them with terror, O Lord.Let the nations know that they are ⌊only⌋ mortal. Selah
