9 Then will the Lord be a refuge for the oppressed, ♦︎
a refuge in the time of trouble.
10 And those who know your name will put their trust in you, ♦︎
for you, Lord, have never failed those who seek you.
11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion; ♦︎
declare among the peoples the things he has done.
12 The avenger of blood has remembered them; ♦︎
he did not forget the cry of the oppressed.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; ♦︎
consider the trouble I suffer from those who hate me,
you that lift me up from the gates of death;
14 That I may tell all your praises in the gates of the city of Zion ♦︎
and rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations shall sink into the pit of their making ♦︎
and in the snare which they set will their own foot be taken.
16 The Lord makes himself known by his acts of justice; ♦︎
the wicked are snared in the works of their own hands.
17 They shall return to the land of darkness, ♦︎
all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten ♦︎
and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Arise, O Lord, and let not mortals have the upper hand; ♦︎
let the nations be judged before your face.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord, ♦︎
that the nations may know themselves to be but mortal.

1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
those he redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.*
23 Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the mighty waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their calamity;
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards,
and were at their wits end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out from their distress;
29 he made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
