Psalms 9:8-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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

9. The Lord 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, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11. Sing praises to the Lord, which 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 Lord; 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 shew 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. The Lord hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
