Psalm 9:12

Celebration Of God's Justice

¹¹ Sing to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
proclaim His deeds among the nations.
¹² For the One who seeks an accounting
for bloodshed remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted. ¹³ Be gracious to me, Lord;
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.
Lift me up from the gates of death,
