Psalms 9:8-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
8And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly. 9 The Lord will also be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble; 10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For You, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You. 11Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; Declare His deeds among the peoples. 12For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the needy. 13Be gracious to me, Lord; See my oppression from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, 14So that I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. 15The nations have sunk down into the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught. 16The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment. A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion Selah 17The wicked will return to Sheol, All the nations who forget God. 18For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. 19Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail; Let the nations be judged before You.King James Version

Chapter 9
8And he judges the world with righteousness; he executes judgment on the nations with fairness. 9The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted, a refuge in times of trouble.
10Those who know your name trust in you because you have not abandoned those who seek you, Lord.
11Sing to the Lord, who dwells in Zion; proclaim his deeds among the nations.
12For the one who seeks an accounting for bloodshed remembers them; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.
13Be gracious to me, Lord; consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me. Lift me up from the gates of death,
14so that I may declare all your praises. I will rejoice in your salvation within the gates of Daughter Zion.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they made; their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
8He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. 9The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.
11Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.
12For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.
13Lord, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the jaws of death.
14Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.

Tell among the peoples his deeds! 12For he who avenges blood is mindful of them; he does not forget the cry of the afflicted. 13 Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death, 14that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation. 15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. 16The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.

Chapter 9
8He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. 9The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12For 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,
14that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
15The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
17The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.
