Psalm 9

So many times we focus on the relationship between God and the righteous. This psalm mentions another group of people who dwelt in Israel; the oppressed and suffering. David passes on two promises for the people caught by ugly circumstances. God will be a refuge for them. He will provide them the shelter that they need. There may be times when they don't see that protection, but they have God's assurance that it is there. The other promise is even greater; God will remember them. And in his remeberance he prepares punishment for the oppressors. Those are two promises that modern believers need to pray to God on behalf of persecuted Christians.
