⁹ The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
   a stronghold in times of trouble.
¹⁰ And those who know your name put their trust in you,
   for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

¹¹ Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion.
   Declare his deeds among the peoples.
¹² For 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 what I suffer from those who hate me;
   you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death,
¹⁴ so that I may recount all your praises,
   and, in the gates of daughter Zion,
   rejoice in your deliverance.

¹⁵ The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
   in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught.
¹⁶ The Lord has made himself known, he has executed judgement;
   the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.
          Higgaion. Selah

¹⁷ The wicked shall depart to Sheol,
   all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸ For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
   nor the hope of the poor perish for ever.

¹⁹ Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail;
   let the nations be judged before you.
²⁰ Put them in fear, O Lord;
   let the nations know that they are only human.
          Selah
