New Testament

Psalms 9:7-14 New English Translation (NET)

7. But the Lord rules forever;he reigns in a just manner.

8. He judges the world fairly;he makes just legal decisions for the nations.

9. Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;he provides safety in times of trouble.

10. Your loyal followers trust in you,for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.

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

12. For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed;he did not overlook their cry for help

13. when they prayed:“Have mercy on me, Lord!See how I am oppressed by those who hate me,O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!

14. Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”
