"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."

Psalm 9:10

God is still on his throne and will judge evil (vv. 4, 7, 8. He is indeed a refuge in times of trouble, and those who know his name (his character) and trust in him will not be forsaken (vv. 9, 10). There is a symmetry in God’s dealings with humanity. Those who seek him will not be forgotten (vv. 10, 12, 18), while those who forget God (i.e., ignore him and live as if he did not matter) will, in turn, be forgotten, the memory of who they were wiped out forever (vv. 5, 6, 17).

Closing Prayer

Lord, help me remember your character and find refuge in you when I am overwhelmed. I trust you to bring justice and deal with evil in this world (edited from Encounter with God).
