Psalms 9:9-18 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

9. God also will a refuge befor those that are oppress'd;A refuge will he be in timesof trouble to distress'd.

10. And they that know thy name, in theetheir confidence will place:For thou hast not forsaken themthat truly seek thy face.

11. O sing ye praises to the Lord,that dwells in Sion hill;And all the nations amonghis deeds record ye still.

12. When he enquireth after blood,he then rememb'reth them:The humble folk he not forgetsthat call upon his name.

13. Lord, pity me; behold the griefwhich I from foes sustain;Ev'n thou, who from the gates of deathdost raise me up again;

14. That I, in Sion's daughters' gates,may all thy praise advance;And that I may rejoice alwaysin thy deliverance.

15. The heathen are sunk in the pitwhich they themselves prepar'd;And in the net which they have hidtheir own feet fast are snar'd.

16. The Lord is by the judgment knownwhich he himself hath wrought:The sinners' hands do make the snareswherewith themselves are caught.

17. They who are wicked into helleach one shall turned be;And all the nations that forgetto seek the Lord most high.

18. For they that needy are shall notforgotten be alway;The expectation of the poorshall not be lost for aye.
