7. The Lord reigns for ever;he has established his throne for judgment.
8. He rules the world in righteousnessand judges the peoples with equity.
9. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.
10. Those who know your name trust in you,for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11. Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12. For he who avenges blood remembers;he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
13. Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14. that I may declare your praisesin the gates of Daughter Zion,and there rejoice in your salvation.
15. The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
