Psalms 9:8
6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
7 But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
