Psalms 76:9

⁵Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.

³Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD’s anger.

⁷But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment. ⁸He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness. ⁹The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

⁴but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

⁴He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

²“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah. ³“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. ⁴Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.” ⁵They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

²⁸They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They don’t plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they don’t defend the rights of the needy.

⁹He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way.

⁴For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

⁴but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.
