Psalm 9:13-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ Be gracious to me, Lord;
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.^(A)
Lift me up from the gates of death,^(B)
14 so that I may declare all your praises.
I will rejoice in your salvation^(C)
within the gates of Daughter Zion.

¹⁵ The nations have fallen into the pit they made;
their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.^(D)
16 The Lord has made himself known;
he has executed justice,^(E)
snaring the wicked
by the work of their hands.^(F)Higgaion. Selah

¹⁷ The wicked will return to Sheol^(G)—
all the nations that forget God.^(H)
18 For the needy will not always be forgotten;
the hope of the oppressed^[a] will not perish forever.^(I)

¹⁹ Rise up, Lord! Do not let mere humans prevail;
let the nations be judged in your presence.^(J)
20 Put terror in them, Lord;^(K)
let the nations know they are only humans.^(L)Selah
