9. Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.
10. Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11. Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

13. Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death;
14. that I may show all of your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.
15. The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
16. Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.
17. The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God.
18. For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19. Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20. Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.
