O God Our Help (Psalms 9 and 10)

Many scholars believe that Psalm 9 and Psalm 10 belong together, because the verses are in acrostic form, with every other verse beginning with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet*, in order, continuing from Psalm 9 through Psalm 10.
Psalm 9 concerns itself with foreign enemies. Psalm 10 takes a stern look at domestic foes who mistreat God’s people.

Psalms 9 and 10
We Can Have Joy in Victory (9:1-6)
We Can Have Joy in Faith (9:7-10)
We Can Have Joy in Praise (9:11-14)
We Can Have Joy in Justice (9:15-20)
