9 The Lord defends those who suffer;

he defends them in times of trouble.

7 But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:

9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,

A high tower in times of trouble;

7 But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment. 8 And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. 9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
