9. Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;he provides safety in times of trouble.
10. Your loyal followers trust in you,for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.
11. Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion!Tell the nations what he has done!
12. For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed;he did not overlook their cry for help
13. when they prayed:“Have mercy on me, Lord!See how I am oppressed by those who hate me,O one who can snatch me away from the gates of death!
14. Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts;in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”
15. The nations fell into the pit they had made;their feet were caught in the net they had hidden.
16. The Lord revealed himself;he accomplished justice;the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
17. The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol;this is the destiny of all the nations that ignore God,
