Psalms 9:13-18

¹³“Have pity upon me, said I, O LORD! Look upon my affliction through them that hate me; Lift me up from the gates of death:

¹⁴That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion; That I may rejoice in salvation by thee.”

¹⁵The nations have sunk into the pit which they made; In the net, which they hid, is their own foot taken.

¹⁶Thus it is known that the LORD executeth judgment; The wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. Stringed instruments. Pause.

¹⁷The wicked shall be driven into the underworld; Yea, all the nations that forger God.

¹⁸For the poor shall not always be forgotten; The hopes of the afflicted shall not perish for ever.
