Psalm 9:13-20
New American Standard Bible
13 Be gracious to me, Lord;
See my oppression from those (A)who hate me,
You who (B)lift me up from the gates of death,
14 So that I may tell of (C)all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may (D)rejoice in Your [a]salvation.
15 The nations have sunk down (E)into the pit which they have made;
In the (F)net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16 The Lord has (G)made Himself known;
He has (H)executed judgment.
A wicked one is ensnared in the work of his own hands. [b]Higgaion Selah
17 The wicked will [c](I)return to [d]Sheol,
All the nations who (J)forget God.
18 For the (K)needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the (L)hope of the afflicted perish forever.
19 (M)Arise, Lord, do not let mankind prevail;
Let the nations be (N)judged before You.
20 Put them (O)in fear, Lord;
Let the nations know that they are (P)merely human. Selah
