Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 9:7

"But Jehovah sitteth as king forever:He has prepared his throne for judgment;And he will judge the world in righteousness,He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness."These words supply additional comment regarding the Final Judgment.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 9:9

"Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,A high tower in times of trouble;And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;For thou, Jehovah, hath not forsaken them that seek thee."Knowing God's name, as mentioned here, implies something far beyond merely being able to pronounce it.
