Psalm 9:11-20

Amplified Bible

¹¹ 
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His [great and wondrous] deeds.
¹² 
For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people);
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.
¹³ 
Have mercy on me and be gracious to me, O Lord;
See how I am afflicted by those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
¹⁴ 
That I may tell aloud all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion (Jerusalem)
I may rejoice in Your salvation and Your help.
¹⁵ 
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
¹⁶ 
The Lord has made Himself known;
He executes judgment;
The wicked are trapped by the work of their own hands. Higgaion (meditation) Selah.

¹⁷ 
The wicked will turn to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
Even all the nations who forget God.
¹⁸ 
For the poor will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the burdened perish forever.
¹⁹ 
Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
²⁰ 
Put them in [reverent] ^[a]fear of You, O Lord,
So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men. Selah.
