Psalm 9:11-20
New King James Version
11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
(A)Declare His deeds among the people.
12 (B)When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the [a]humble.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of [b]the daughter of Zion.
I will (C)rejoice in Your salvation.
15 (D)The [c]nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The Lord is (E)known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
(F)Meditation.[d] Selah
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the [e]nations (G)that forget God.
18 (H)For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
(I)The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O Lord,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the [f]nations be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O Lord,
That the [g]nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
