This document summarizes Psalm 9 in 3 sections: 1. The author will praise God with their whole heart for God's wonderful deeds and upholding of justice. 2. God judges the world with righteousness and fairness, providing shelter for the oppressed. 3. The author asks God for mercy in being snatched from death so they can declare God's praises, as the wicked fall into the pits they dug but God does not ignore those in need.
![The unbelieving peoples have fallen into the pit
that they have dug.
And their feet have been snared in the traps
they have set.
The Lord is renowned for his justice.
But the wicked are trapped by their own
actions.

enterprise defy you.
Exercise judgmenton the peoples.
Cause them to tremble with fear, O Lord
And let them realize that they are merely
human.
