Psalms 9:8-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

8. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10. And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.

11. Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

12. When he avenges blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.

13. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:

14. That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your 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. The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17. The wicked shall be turned into sheol, and all the nations that forget God.

18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19. Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the nations be judged in your sight.

20. Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
