God's Sovereign Justice (Psalm 9, Part 2)


Champion for the Oppressed (verses 9-12)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%209:9-12&version=NIV

God, the champion for the oppressed, provides refuge and strength. He promised to never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Therefore we sing praises for God’s just rule and that He cares.

Thank You, Lord, that You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You. We sing Your praises; we proclaim among the nations what You have done. Thank You that You do not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

Rejoice in God’s Salvation (verses 13-14)

We too readily forget God and act as though He does not exist. In humility may we admit to God that we do not control our lives or destiny. May we rejoice in His salvation.

O Lord, have mercy and lift us up from the gates of death, that we may declare Your praises and rejoice in Your salvation.
