Psalms 9:3-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

3. My enemies turn back when you appear;they fall down and die.

4. You are fair and honest in your judgements,and you have judged in my favour.

5. You have condemned the heathenand destroyed the wicked;they will be remembered no more.

6. Our enemies are finished for ever;you have destroyed their cities,and they are completely forgotten.

7. But the Lord is king for ever;he has set up his throne for judgement.

8. He rules the world with righteousness;he judges the nations with justice.

9. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,a place of safety in times of trouble.

10. Those who know you, Lord, will trust you;you do not abandon anyone who comes to you.

11. Sing praise to the Lord, who rules in Zion!Tell every nation what he has done!
