8 You judge the world fairlyand treat all nationswith justice.
9 The poor can run to youbecause you are a fortressin times of trouble.
10 Everyone who honours your namecan trust you,because you are faithfulto all who depend on you.
11 You rule from Zion, Lord,and we sing about youto let the nations knoweverything you have done.
12 You did not forgetto punish the guiltyor listen to the criesof those in need.
13 Please have mercy, Lord!My enemies ill-treat me.Keep me from the gatesthat lead to death,
14 and I will sing about youat the gate to Zion.I will be happy therebecause you rescued me.
