Psalms 9:11-18

¹¹Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.

¹²For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.

¹³Have mercy upon me, O Lord; look upon my affliction which I suffer of my enemies, you that lift me up from the gates of death:

¹⁴that I may declare all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion: I will exult in your salvation.

¹⁵The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.

¹⁶The Lord is known as executing judgments: the sinner is taken in the works of his hands. A song of Pause.

¹⁷Let sinners be driven away into Hades, even all the nations that forget God.

¹⁸For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever: the patience of the needy ones shall not perish for ever.
